Intro: Like Toyota, Suzuki was originally a division of an automatic loom factory. In 1955, Suzuki released its first automobile, Suzu Light, and has been offering unique products since then, including Jimny 4WD (1970), Alto (1979), and Cultus (1983). Suzuki is the largest minivehicle maker in Japan, and became the fourth-largest automaker in 2001. Suzuki also is the third-largest motorcycle maker in the world, following Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. Its large bikes including the GSX series are very popular among worldwide motorcyclists.
