3. Suzuki
This Japanese motorcycle manufacturer surely has come a long way since its days in the cotton loom industry back in 1909! Fast-forward 43 years when Suzuki, the number 3 in our list of best-selling motorcycles of all time takes its first steps into the motorcycle realm, building their first motorized bicycle. Technically not a motorcycle—since they were equipped with petals—but they were off to a good start. In 1955 their first real motorcycle—the Colleda COX—makes its debut into the world and by ’62 Suzuki wins its first world title. They then proceed with the T20 Super Six in 1965, which put them on the international map and makes excellent sales. As the years progress, Suzuki only goes on to win more and more world titles and are among the top Japanese motorcycle manufacturer in the world!
