Suzuki - Tradition & modernité

En 1909, lorsqu'il se lance dans la fabrication de métiers à tisser, Michio Suzuki, né en 1887, n'a certainement pas pu imaginer que son nom deviendrait célèbre dans le monde entier. Et moins encore que cette célébrité viendrait de motos.

C'est cette histoire que le deuxième volet de la collection Motofocus vous propose de faire revivre à travers un tour d'horizon de la production de Suzuki depuis ses débuts jusqu'aux années 1990, illustré par de belles photos inédites des modèles emblématiques de la marque.
