Suzuki Motorcycles - Then and Now
Diamond Free, Titan, GT750, X-6 Hustler, RG500, XN85, and GSX-R. Familiar with them? Probably yes since they belong to one of the top names in the motorcycle industry - Suzuki. These Suzuki motorcycles are not just robust and stylish but they are also packed with excellent features.
But are you aware that before Suzuki became popular in the motorcycle industry, it first became a part of the silk industry? Puzzling as it may seem, but yes in 1909, Suzuki was just a small warehouse that aimed to bring looms to Japanese silk industry. Only after 30 years when it started to diversify into cars and motorcycles. Then when the cotton market collapsed in 1951, the company decided to seriously get into the car and motorcycle industry.
The first motorcycle from Suzuki was the Power Free. Its ingenious design did not only catch the interest of many but also the Japan government itself. It even gave Suzuki a subsidy to continue their research in motorcycle and car innovation. That very much helped Suzuki to manufacture better motorcycles. In fact, they were even able to come up with great bikes, which later on become the winners in the World Motocross Championship.
The X-6 Hustler was among the innovative motorcycles produced by Suzuki. It was actually the first bike they created for the street-legal performance category. Known for its great speed, this became the fastest 250cc bike in the 1960’s. And because of this fast motorcycle, Suzuki gained recognition in the arena of motocross.
By the late 80’s, Suzuki became one of the popular names in the racing community. The GSX-R750 was the model that standout during this era. It was said to be the lightest bike ever made because of its aluminum frame.
Through the years, Suzuki proved that Suzuki motorcycles are one of the best. Indeed, they are because even today, Suzuki is still among the top 4 motorcycle manufacturers worldwide.
