Suzuki Motor Corporation, a Japanese based manufacturing company, produces a full range of motorcycles as well as a variety of ATVs and off road motorcycles. Suzuki started manufacturing motorcycles in 1952. In 1976 Suzuki introduced its first four-stroke engine and has since established itself as a manufacturer of well-engineered sport motorcycles. Suzuki’s most notable street motorcycles are the GSX-R series, the SV and the GSX-1300R Hyabusa. The Suzuki GSX-R1000 has received many awards, such as Motorcyclist magazine’s “Motorcycles of the Year” and many others. Just like Yamaha, Suzuki has its separate brand of cruiser motorcycles, the “Boulevard”. Suzuki’s Boulevard brand offers twelve different models that replace their older lines, such as the Suzuki Intruder, the Suzuki Volusa and the Suzuki Marauder.
