Suzuki started into the motorcylces market in 1952 with a 36cc single cylinder two-stroke. By 1963, Suzuki motorcycles had made their way to the North American market. Since that time, Suzuki motorcycles have dominated the market as the best quality motorcycle at the most affordable prices.

Suzuki has come a very long way in the U.S. market since the firm began selling a small line of inexpensive, lightweight motorcycles here in 1963. Now Suzuki is one of the world's "Big Four" motorcycle makers, offering a complete range of advanced street, off-road and race-winning machines. Globally, Suzuki is among the dozen top automakers, and sells more models than ever stateside. Inventor of the four-wheel ATV, Suzuki is dramatically expanding its QuadRunner lineup, and soon a new factory in Rome, GA, will manufacture them in the U.S. For boating enthusiasts, Suzuki serves up a wide array of outboard motors, many of them featuring electronic fuel injection and four-stroke power.

American Suzuki Motor Corporation is everywhere, on two wheels, four wheels and on the water. To help serve millions of customers nationwide, there are six corporate offices, staffed by hundreds of sales, technical, accessory and distribution staff. Across the country, there are more than 1,600 independently owned Suzuki dealerships. And the number is still growing.

For 2006, Suzuki brings a completely redesigned RM-Z250 to racers. The machine is completely designed by Suzuki engineers and gets an all-new aluminum chassis. This bike is perfect for the recreational racer to the top pro; this bike helps make winners. The RM-Z250 embodies the winning balance. To win, you need a balanced engine with the right amount of both top- and bottom-end power. Suzuki brings the winning balance to engine and chassis design and delivers the complete package for the track. Based on the championship-winning RM-Z450 and featuring 100 percent Suzuki power and handling, the new RM-Z250 is available now.
