If nothing else, you have to respect Suzuki's willingness to explore new avenues of merchandise design for its fans. Anyone can have hats, t-shirts, tote bags, keychains, and all the stuff you usually expect to see. And sure, some of those designs are great; I have absolutely nothing against them, having purchased plenty of those items myself.
But Suzuki doesn't stop there. No, Suzuki frequently goes to extra-special, bonus lengths with its merch shop efforts. And while it's true that most of these are only sold in Japan (unless you find someone reselling them, or have a friend who can forward them to you), I still find that it tickles something deep in my nerdy little soul that they frequently go out on a limb like they do.
Want a pretty fascinating 3-D Hayabusa puzzle? You've got it. What about fancy Japanese-style teacups with your favorite Suzuki motorcycles dancing around them? Sure, yeah, okay. How about aprons, shoulder bags, or backpacks that are not only Suzuki merch, but that are made of canvas that was woven on the Suzuki looms that started it all?
