Fueled by its 105 years of manufacturing history with 62 years of building motorcycles, Suzuki strives to provide value-packed products using straightforward engineering and uncompromising quality control. The brand has been creating history through continuous innovation addressing the various needs of the two-wheel market. And this year, Suzuki is marking another milestone through the launch of the first Suzuki Big Bikes Center in the Philippines.
Located at the heart of Makati and incorporated at the first Suzuki Auto-Moto concept shop, the new Suzuki Big Bikes Center matches the familiar atmosphere of the latest Suzuki 3S Shop. The elements of the store are well-thought-out to ensure that it exceeds the customers’ expectations by providing the most relevant Suzuki motorcycle models, excellent after-sales service, Suzuki genuine parts (SGP), and competent personnel to assist customers in all their needs. All these done in an environment that is tasteful and of high-class, much like the power and performance of Suzuki big bikes.
The first Suzuki Big Bikes Center was established with Suzuki’s partner for more than four decades: Wheeltek Motor Sales Corporation. The partnership of these two big names in the country’s motorcycle industry can be traced back to the ‘70s when Wheeltek’s founders, Dr. Reynaldo Odulio Sr. and Mrs. Rosario Teresita Odulio, started their motorcycle business in their home garage with only three bike units, which were all Suzuki motorcycles. These make Suzuki the first brand of choice for Wheeltek during its foundation.
The two companies launched the first ever combined Automobile and Motorcycle shop in the Philippines through the Suzuki Auto-Moto Shop in Makati in 2013. It is also the first store to officially sell Suzuki big bikes with GSR 750, GSX-R600, V-Strom 650 ABS, and Bandit 650S as the first models being offered. Now, after a couple of years, the Suzuki Big Bikes Center will be officially inaugurated with its new upgraded look reflecting the true meaning of Suzuki’s Way of Life.
The new Suzuki Big Bikes Center carries six new products on its floor with the 2015 Hayabusa, the pinnacle of high-performance motorcycles; V-Strom 1000 ABS, the ultimate touring machine; V-Strom 650 ABS, a bike for an all-adventure ride; the Bandit 650 A, the total answer to the call of freedom; the GSR 750, merging dynamic style and ride; and the GSX-R 600, the sport bike that is the top performer in its class.
This year, Wheeltek and Suzuki will add two new big bikes in their lineup that will definitely change the game of the country’s local high-cc motorcycle scene.
