Suzuki Releases New Lightweight 60HP Four Stroke

Product News

Suzuki’s second generation DF60 has proven that less can be more when it comes to advanced 4-stroke outboard performance.
This streamlined new 60 horsepower 4-stroke designed to be smaller, lighter and more efficient than other 4-strokes in its class will still pack a solid punch and will be an ideal fit for a wide variety of boats.
“Our engineers are constantly exploring new technologies to discover ways that we can make our outboards even better,” says Greg Haines, Managing Director sales and marketing for Suzuki Marine.
“Suzuki’s new generation 4-stroke outboards — the DF70, DF80, DF90 and now the DF60 aren’t only better than the competition, but leaner, meaner and stronger than our first generation 4-strokes.”
Fuel efficiency is further enhanced by Suzuki’s new Lean Burn Technology, a feature that predicts fuel needs according to operating conditions and allows the engine to operate on a very lean air/fuel ratio. The new Suzuki DF60 is expected to provide the perfect balance of efficient operation and top-end performance on a wide range of hull sizes and styles.
The new DF60 will be released for the first time at the Sanctuary Cove International boat show 21-24 May and available spring 2009.

Suzuki 100 Years of Innovation - 1909 to 2009

Gereral News

The Suzuki history began in October 1909, when the founder Michio Suzuki started his company. In the commemorative year of 2009 we celebrate the 100th year of his first ever step in business.
Suzuki wasn't always the Motor Corporation. In 1909, Michio Suzuki founded the Suzuki Loom Company in the small seacoast village of Hamamatsu, Japan. Business boomed as Suzuki built weaving looms for Japan's giant silk industry. Suzuki's only desire was to build better, more user-friendly looms. For the first 30 years of the company's existence, its focus was on the development and production of these exceptionally complex machines.
Despite the success of his looms, Suzuki realized his company had to diversify and he began to look at other products. Based on consumer demand, he decided that building a small car would be the most practical new venture. The project began in 1937, and within two years Suzuki had completed several compact prototype cars. These first Suzuki motor vehicles were powered by a then-innovative, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, four-cylinder engine. It featured a cast aluminum crankcase and gearbox and generated 13 horsepower from a displacement of less than 800cc.
What was once a small group of dedicated engineers, designing the world's finest weaving machinery, has today grown into a worldwide company of almost 15,000 people, who create and distribute products in more than 190 nations. Worldwide, Suzuki sells nearly 1.8 million vehicles a year, surpassing the sales of such renowned marques as BMW, Mercedes and Saab. Suzuki motorcycles are the first choice of more than 2 million riders every year. And sales of Suzuki outboards continue to be the power of choice for boat owners worldwide.
Looking to the future, on two wheels, four wheels, and on the water, Suzuki will continue its tradition of technological trailblazing, and appealing to customers who demand unique design, value, reliability and superior engineering.
