About Suzuki
Country of Origin:

Founder:
Michio Suzuki
Best Known For:
GSX-R sportbikes, Hayabusa, DR/DR-Z dual-sports, Burgman scooters
Company History
From loom maker to racing force, Suzuki built its reputation on durable, value-forward engineering that still wins on Sundays. The GSX-R defined modern sportbike DNA—light frames, revvy fours—while the Hayabusa rewrote the velocity conversation with stability and everyday civility. Off-road, DR and DR-Z dual-sports became global workhorses: simple, tractable, fixable anywhere. Suzuki’s strategy blends incremental evolution with racing feedback, keeping parts affordable and reliability high. In scooters, Burgman made maxi convenience mainstream. Historically, Suzuki is the rider’s brand: honest performance, dealer networks that reach small towns, and a knack for machines that feel friendly yet fast.
