Quick Review by Maxabout Team

Suzuki Motor Corporation is a world renowned Japanese multinational corporation which manufactures four-wheel drive vehicles, automobiles, motorcycles, outboard marine engines plus a variety of small internal combustion engines, wheelchairs and all-terrain vehicles. It was founded in 1909 by Michio Suzuki as a weaving looms industry which was named Suzuki Loom Works. It started manufacturing motorcycles in 1952, thus changed its name to Suzuki Motor Corporation in 1954 and the first car was built in 1955. It has its current headquarters in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan and is owned by Volkswagen Group.

Suzuki Motorcycle India Limited is a subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation with its manufacturing plant in Gurgaon, Haryana which has an annual capacity of 5.40lakhs units. Recently, Suzuki Motorcycles showcased a half-faired version of GSR250 (GW250 or Inazuma), a commuter Suzuki GSR250S at 2013 Tokyo Motor Show on November 19, 2013 in Tokyo, Japan.
