This is one of many illustrated classic motorcycle guides I've created for the community. I hope you enjoy it. If you wish to find out more about the classic Suzuki motorcycle art featured in this guide please click here.
An established manufacturer of weaving machinery, Suzuki's first move into the motor cycle industry was in 1952, with the development of a 36cc two-stroke engine called the Power Free which clipped to a bicycle frame. Adequate performance and reliability combined with the demand for cheap transportation in post-war Japan made it a success. In 1954 the company changed its name to Suzuki Motor Company Limited and produced its first complete motorcycle, the Colleda.
