Suzuki Dirt Bikes

This weeks topic will revolve around Suzuki dirt bikes. In 1909 on the base of Japan, a man by the name of Michio Suzuki, created a business called the Suzuki Loom Company. For thirty years, the company was building weaving looms to supply Japans then booming silk industry, while Michio was a very intelligent man, he decided that civilians needed transport and motorcars where the next step to this company.
In 1952, 'Power Free' was the next success and "big thing" in the world. It was a motorized bike that was powered by 36cc two-stroke engine.

In 1954, Suzuki was known world wide for mass producing motorbikes. The company's name had changed to Suzuki Motor CO Ltd. Suzuki today can be made two-stroke or four-stroke like the brands Yamaha or Honda. This may be the second best bike to ride since it was carefully created over the years.

Yamaha Dirt Bikes

This weeks blog will be about Yamaha dirt bikes. In 1887, the Yamaha Corporation was founded by Torakusu Yamaha. It all started out in computers and electronics when Genichi Kawakami, the current CEO of the Yamaha Corporation, made the decision to utilize the companies engineering skills and exand into motorized devices. In 1968, the first Yamaha dirt bike was completed. It was a two-stroke 250cc Enduro bike. YZ400F was then created in 1997. Yamaha was the first company to create the new breed of four-stroke bikes, also known as motocrossers as we know them today.


I personally would advise people to go with the Yamaha brand. They run well and all my family has ever owned was Yamaha. Today, I own a two-stroke 100cc Yamaha bike, built in the 1900's. It's great, but old and since I race, it's not the best. So, if you want a good racing bike, Yamaha would be the one.

The Motivation That Got Me Into Riding

When I was 8 years of age, my older brother Tracy was a fanatic in dirt bikes and had been riding when he was at a very young as well. He had told me that practice makes perfect, so starting young would be best to become a more successful rider. After the first time I got on that bike, I've never wanted to stop, and as I watched him ride, I learned more and more. This is what motivated me.

To those of who have not started at a young age as I did, you still have a chance to become successful, everyone does. Everyone has a dream, whether it's dirt bike riding (in other words, Motocross), or something else that's important in their lives. Push yourself in that dream and become successful. I did, and I'm not nearly done with my experience just yet.

Introduction: Dirt Biking

The topic I choose is on dirt bikes because I started riding when I was about 8 years old and I’ve been interested in dirt bikes ever since. I have brothers and family that have taught me the things I've needed to know about riding, I just don't the things I probably should about dirtbikes, so my blogs are going to be based on the dirtbikes themselves and the tracks that are around the world. I hope this would be an interesting topic to the riders out there not knowing a whole lot, like me.
