SUZUKI MOTORCYCLE GEAR, PARTS, ACCESSORIES, APPAREL AND STUFF!
Did you know ‘”Suzuki” means “Sea bass” in Japanese? Go figure. It certainly doesn’t make much sense in terms of motorcycles. On the other hand, Suzuki Motor Corporation is a very large multinational conglomerate, and even though you and I may only think of Suzuki in terms of motorcycles, they make cars, wheelchairs, and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), as well as outboard marine engines (so at least there is some sea bass connection).
Suzuki is unique among the world’s motorcycle manufacturers that …

Yamaha gear ain’t for everyone.
Probably not for Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda, Triumph and especially Harley riders. Although you do have those motorbike eccentrics (myself included) who ride any and all bikes, in which case you can’t go wrong buying a gift with the name of any manufacturer emblazoned on it.

KAWASAKI MOTORCYCLE APPAREL AND ACCESSORIES
The good news about getting branded motorcycle attire as a gift for someone is that, as long as you get the right brand, you can almost get anything: hat, jacket, shirt, or other gear.
For example, if you KNOW someone rides a Kawasaki motorcycle, then you would not do too badly buying some kind of Kawasaki Motorcycle Apparel.
On the other hand, no matter how well-intentioned your gift idea may be, many Kawasaki riders would not regard your selection favorably if you gave them a Harley Davidson shirt …
