Suzuki Motor Corporation has decided from 2012, to temporarily suspend its participation in FIM Road Racing Grand Prix MotoGP.
This suspension will be put into action in order to cope with tough economic circumstances caused by the prolonged recession in developed countries, a historical consideration of the Yen and repeated natural disasters in the country.
With proposals of their return to MotoGP in 2014, Suzuki will now focus on developing a fiercely competitive new racing machine for that class.
Suzuki will continue motocross racing activity and their support of road racing activities using mass-produced motorcycles, by obtaining FIM homologation and co-operation with the supplier of its development racing kit parts.
