On Tigger-related merchandise, Disney often indicates Tigger's birthyear as 1968, a reference to the first year that Tigger appeared in a Disney production, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. Since then, Suzuki has established a reputation as a manufacturer of well-engineered sport motorcycles. Tigger's birthday is believed to be in October, with year around 1928, this being the year that The House at Pooh Corner was first published. However, it wasn't until 1976 when Suzuki introduced its first motorcycle with a four-stroke engine, the GS400 and GS750.

During the 1950's, 1960's and the better part of 1970's, the company manufactured motorcycles with two-stroke engines only, the biggest two-stroke model being the water-cooled triple-cylinder GT750. Since the 1990s, he has been voiced by Jim Cummings (who is also the voice of Pooh).

Suzuki started manufacturing motorcycles in 1952, the first models being motorized bicycles. Tigger was originally voiced by Paul Winchell. The Geo and Chevrolet Tracker were Suzuki Vitaras by another name. An interesting quirk about Tigger is that, according to his theme song, "the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the only one." This song leads to his search for his family in The Tigger Movie. The Chevrolet Cruze and Holden Cruze are also on Suzuki platforms—again the Ignis's but with a Holden-designed body. When Pooh met Tigger (in the book), he had trouble finding food that Tigger would eat - however the problem was soon solved when Tigger tasted extract of malt, which Kanga gave to Roo as medicine. Suzuki's Samurai/Sierra was also known as the Holden Drover between 1985 and 1987.

Beginning with the Chevrolet Sprint, Suzuki has built cars for other manufacturers. Some of Tigger's friends include; Roo, Kanga, Pooh, Rabbit, Owl, Piglet, Eeyore, Heffalumps, Christopher Robin, and many other friends that the gang makes on their journeys. Suzuki also introduced a redesigned Grand Vitara as a 2006 model. He has starred in his own film, The Tigger Movie (Disney, 2000), along with his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood.

After 2001, the Swift (by then the most inexpensive car in America) had left the Suzuki lineup. The Sidekick was replaced by the Vitara and the Grand Vitara for 1999. In 1996, American Suzuki released the X-90 to replace the Samurai. Worldwide Suzuki production reached more than 975,000 cars this year.

In 1995 American Suzuki introduced the Esteem and redesigned the Swift. The Swift and Sidekick were cousins to GM's Geo Metro and Geo Tracker and were mostly produced in Ingersoll, Canada by Suzuki and GM's joint venture, CAMI. In 1989, American Suzuki introduced the Swift and a new small SUV called the Sidekick. Both companies spent over a decade in court debating this issue with no winner.
