(Top) The LIANA:
The LIANA was launched at 2001 Geneva motor show. This is the vehicle for the "Life In A New Age", a symbolic model to build a new relationship between
vehicles and human beings by offering innovative solutions to the customer's requirements.
(Center) The GSX-R1000:
The new GSX-R1000, an open-class interpretation of the world-beating GSX-R750, rewrites the rules of the big-bore Supersports motorcycling. The GSX-
R1000 with 988cc DOHC in-line 4-cylinder engine, offers accurately balanced chassis inherited from the world-winning GP500 machine RGV-Γ, instantaneous
throttle response thanks to the digitally controlled state-of-the-art fuel injection, and lightning-quick braking ability with the new 6-pod calipers. This is a
motorcycle true to its own legacy.
(Bottom) 2001 new model DF90, 90 horsepower 4-cycle outboard motor Powered by 1950cc 4-cylinder, 16-valve DOHC engine with Multi-point Sequential
Electronic Fuel Injection delivers outstanding throttle response and smoother performance with low noise and vibration. It is also designed for cleaner exhaust
emissions to meet the EPA2006 standards set by U.S.Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board's (CARB) 2008 standards.
Suzuki then entered the motorcycle business with the
introduction of "Power Free" motorized bicycle in
1952, and entered the automobile business in 1955
with the introduction of "Suzulight" lightweight car.
Suzuki is committed to use our amassed
technological expertise and all other available
resources to help raise the quality of human life in
society by promoting corporate growth through
manufacture and supply of socially demanded
products.
