RE: Photography, Info and thoughts: old Suzuki racing bike [EN]-[IT]
Have you ever seen a Suzuki bike in your country? Is the Suzuki brand also known for motorcycles in your country?
Yes, for sure in Germany there was in the early 70´s and 80´s a huge lot of Suzuki Bike dealers, which most of them later on took on the cars from Suzuki the Grandpa from them all was the good old Suzuki LJ80 a kind of japanese copy from the american Willys Jeep.
I myself have owned several Suzuki motorcycles (2 stroke engines) which made a lot of fun on the street because the were really really fast.
Later we had the LJ 80 Jeeps for competing in trail championships, and I had a time with Honda testing and preparing motrocycles for the european markets and the road approval, this was one of the best jobs I ever had even when it was very stressful, biking 8 to 11 hours daily on highways, small roads and racetracks, having the best handmade material in hands what nobody was able to buy at this time and get paid for, that´s like today having got a christmas present in the form of 1 BTC ;)
thanks for this long comment. Nice to know that in Germany the Susiki brand was well known
you´re welcome, and yeah it not only was well known, it still is well known because there is still Suzuki bike dealers and shops in Germany the bikes are still thought after, alone in between a circle of 25 km from the town I was born in there are 4 of them and a bunch of Suzuki car dealers as well.
