Photography, Info and thoughts: old Suzuki racing bike.
Photography
In these photos we see an old SUZUKI racing bike that raced in motorcycle sports championships. These bikes were prepared for racing by Suzuki Racing
Information
SUZUKI is a Japanese company that is over 100 years old. It was founded in 1909 by Michio Suzuki.
The company currently produces cars, motorcycles and marine engines. The headquarters are in Hamamatsu, a city in Japan located in the Shizuoka prefecture.
Instead, Suzuki Racing was officially born in 1960.
International successes for Suzuki Racing were not long in coming, in fact already in 1962 the first triumph arrived where SUZUKI won its first title thanks to the pilot Ernst Degner at the World Motorcycle Grand Prix (50cc Class).
Suzuki Racing is recognized as one of the main protagonists of motorcycling and can boast successes in MotoGP, Motocross and other international competitions.
Another thing to know and that is often noticed is that blue color that distinguishes SUZUKI motorcycles. In fact, the official color of the Suzuki Racing team is a bright blue, but this particular color is also known as Suzuki Racing Blue and has become the iconic symbol of the team in motorcycle competitions.
Thoughts
When photographing this motorcycle I noticed how the design of these 70s motorcycles was done with less sophisticated instrumentation than today. The various aerodynamic studies were done more on paper and on the intuition of the designers than on the computer. The motorcycle that I had in front of me was the fruit of ideas and tests, of efforts and hope for victory. That iconic blue of the Suzuki Racing Team that stood out on the body of the motorcycle was there as a strong symbol. That blue seemed to say that in the 70s Suzuki was already there competing with the best.
If STEEM was worth $100, I might even consider retiring some of my STEEM and buying this awesome SUZUKI racer to own as a vintage bike.
Question
Have you ever seen a Suzuki bike in your country? Is the Suzuki brand also known for motorcycles in your country?

Fotografia,Info e pensieri: vecchia moto da corsa della Suzuki.
Fotografia
In queste foto vediamo una vecchia moto da corsa della SUZUKI che correva nei campionati sportivi di motociclette. Queste moto venivano preparate per le corse dal Suzuki Racing
Informazioni
La SUZUKI è un’azienda giapponese che ha più di 100 anni. Fu fondata nel 1909 da Michio Suzuki.
L’azienda attualmente produce automobili, moto e motori marini. La sede principale è ad Hamamatsu, è una città del Giappone situata nella prefettura di Shizuoka.
Invece la Suzuki Racing, nacque ufficialmente nel 1960.
I successi internazionali per la Suzuki Racing non tardarono ad arrivare, infatti già nel 1962 arrivò il primo trionfo dove la SUZUKI conquistò il suo primo titolo grazie al pilota Ernst Degner al Gran Premio del Mondo di Motociclismo (Classe 50cc).
Suzuki Racing è riconosciuta come una delle principali protagoniste del motociclismo e può vantare successi nella MotoGP, nel Motocross e in altre competizioni internazionali.
Un ulteriore cosa da sapere e che si nota spesso è quel colore blu che contraddistingue le moto SUZUKI. Infatti il colore ufficiale del team Suzuki Racing è un blu brillante, ma questo particolare colore è noto anche come Suzuki Racing Blue ed è diventato l'iconico simbolo della squadra nelle competizioni motociclistiche.
Pensieri
Nel fotografare questa moto ho notato come la progettazione di queste moto anni 70 avvenisse con strumentazione meno sofisticata di quella di oggi. I vari studi aerodinamici venivano fatti più su carta e su intuizione dei progettisti che su computer. La motocicletta che avevo davanti a me era il frutto di idee e di prove, di sforzi e di speranza di vittoria. Quel blu iconico del Suzuki Racing Team che spiccava sulla carrozzeria della moto era lì come un forte simbolo. Quel blu sembrava dire che negli anni 70 la Suzuki era già lì a competere con i migliori.
Se STEEM valesse 100$, potrei anche pensare di ritirare un po’ dei miei STEEM e acquistare questa stupenda moto da corsa della SUZUKI da possedere come moto d’epoca.
Domanda
Avete mai visto una moto Suzuki nel vostro paese? Il marchio Suzuki da voi è conosciuto anche per le motociclette?

THE END
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 ;)

Thank you for your constant support
Of course, I have seen Suzuki bikes though in my country it has a different look because here its racing bikes are rarely seen on the roads but it is one of my favourite bike brands I remember my uncle had a Suzuki bike in the early 90s and at that time it was the queen of the roads because most of the people had bicycles or scooters and motorbikes were rarely seen so whenever it passed by, everyone would look at it, especially us kids. Ah, it took me down to the childhood. :D
Questo marchio è abbastanza affidabile, ci sono molte persone che scelgono questo marchio anche se attualmente esiste un'ampia varietà. Ti auguro una giornata felice
Questo marchio non verrà mai lasciato indietro nonostante quelli attuali, questa bici è un classico, adoro anche il colore
