[edit] Looks unaccurate
The article says: "133 distributors in 192 countries."
This looks unaccurate. If the company has presence in 192 countries, and has at least one distributor per contry, how could be there less distribuitors than countries? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.145.238.164 (talk) 14:12, August 30, 2007 (UTC)
- A distributor can have multiple franchises or warehouses, I would assume. So maybe these franchises/warehouses are located in multiple countries. Pandacomics (talk) 06:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] External links
I removed all the external links except the link to the company's global website. there is no need for all the country websites since they can be accesed through the global site. I also removed forum, fansites and other links in accordance with WP:EL Chris Ssk (talk) 22:02, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- I can't get to http://www.suzukicycles.com/ from the single link you have left behind. Did you verify that all the links you deleted can be reached from the global site like you insist? I can't. Corey Salzano (talk) 15:39, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronounced
Some seem to have taken offence to the comment that the common English pronunciation of Suzuki is an incorrect one. There should be no offence taken. Mr. Suzuki's name is pronounced as the Japanese pronunciation is on this article. Because of this, the company is also pronounced this way. It is the same situation with Porsche. Dr. Porsche's name is not pronounced as a single syllable and it is therefore incorrect to refer to his car company in such a way. It would be incorrect to pronounce Henry Ford's Ford company as fur-ed, as that would be the incorrect pronunciation of Henry's last name. This is also the case with Suzuki.
Suzuki as a proper Japanese name is not pronounced in the way it is typically done so by English speaking individuals. This pronunciation by English speaking individuals is therefore incorrect. Again, there is no reason to take offence at this, it is just the way it is. Deal with it. Dale-DCX (talk) 07:02, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
