Suzuki - winners of world titles on race track and motocross circuit, in the vanguard of Japan's development of the two-stroke engine, the firm that dramatically switched to using four-stroke engines in the 1970s, a firm brave enough to market a model powered by a rotary engine.The Suzuki name was made in loom manufacture and other products until they joined the powered world of two wheels in 1952, later to diversify onto four and add many other products with engines. From their early days they went racing to prove what they designed and built, and to gain invaluable experience in the cauldron of competition at the highest levels.Today they are one of the major producers of motorcycles, offering both two-stroke and four-stroke machines that employ the highest of modern technology, materials and methods. Advanced design of engines, chassis, suspension systems, aerodynamic fairings and the smallest of details all go together to bring this about in a harmonious package with remarkable performance.This is the Suzuki story, told in words and pictures, with extensive use of color to enhance the tale. Clearly, it shows the great progress made over four decades which will carry the firm on into the next century.

The author tells the story of the British post-war motorcycle during the golden age of the industry. This book contains archival photographs and advertising material.
