SUZUKI <strong>CSR</strong> REPORT <strong>2011</strong><br />

■<strong>Suzuki</strong> Safety School<br />

Since fiscal 2008, we hold <strong>Suzuki</strong> Safety School four<br />

times a year at the motorcycle school area in Ryuyo<br />

Proving Ground to teach users of <strong>Suzuki</strong> motorcycles how<br />

to enjoy riding safely.<br />

We will hold this school also in fiscal <strong>2011</strong> as a seminar<br />

to learn with fun, providing not only such a basic motions<br />

as how to ride, turn and stop, but also advanced courses<br />

including hazard anticipation, riding with ABS, and riding<br />

on highways.<br />

■In-House Safe Driving Seminars<br />

As a manufacturer and seller of motorcycles, we regularly<br />

hold "motorcycle driving safety seminars" for our new<br />

employees, motorcycle commuters, and employees of<br />

related companies and distributors.<br />

In fiscal 2010, 6 seminars were conducted for 80<br />

participants including new employees who have just<br />

graduated from high schools or universities, motorcycle<br />

commuters, and employees of distributors.<br />

We will continue to conduct such seminars to train them<br />

to improve their safe riding awareness, basic motorcycle<br />

operation, and riding manner, as well as to follow the traffic<br />

rules, as employees working for motorcycle companies,<br />

who must be the role models for other riders.<br />

■Cooperation with “Hamamatsu, the hometown of the Motorcycle”<br />

“Hamamatsu, the hometown of the Motorcycle” is an<br />

event to spread information, attractions, and the culture<br />

of Hamamatsu, where the domestic motorcycle industry<br />

was born, nationwide.<br />

In 2010, the number of visitors reached 31,000, and this<br />

is now one of the biggest events having 30,000 or more<br />

visitors for five consecutive years.<br />

<strong>Suzuki</strong> is contributing to foster personnel that adore<br />

motorcycle and take the lead in monozukuri (manufacturing<br />

know-how) in new generation, and to create the town<br />

where motorcycle lovers get together through touring<br />

project and industrial tourism by cooperating in this event.<br />

■Sunday SRF in Ryuyo Off-Road Seminar<br />

To promote off-road motor sports, a technical riding<br />

school for a broad range of motocross riders, from<br />

beginners to experienced riders, who purchased <strong>Suzuki</strong>’s<br />

competition model "RM series" motorcycles, is held seven<br />

to ten times a year at the Ryuyo Off-Road Course.<br />

A rider with International A License is invited as an<br />

instructor to provide one-on-one coaching session.<br />

We had the school seven times in 2010 and 214<br />

participants in total.<br />

Many <strong>Suzuki</strong> customers have taken part in this event and<br />

learned basic and high-level motocross riding techniques.<br />

This event will be held on a regular basis.<br />
