Good to see Suzuki closing the gap.

There bike has run well this season and with the upgrade to a seamless shift box they should be even more competitive next season.

Agree it is a looker. Very well thought out and extremely compact. They have 2 quality riders so if they can improve the bike I'm sure the results will come.

The bike is up there with the Yamaha in the corners, all they need is the power and components to help it get to the corner alongside the Yamaha. Haven't heard any complaints about the braking of the machine either so it isn't far off!

Do they use a V4 or an I4?

IL4. Honda, Ducati and Aprilia are the V4s currently racing in Motogp. The KTM will be too.

The new ecu and Michelins might be a good equaliser and help the Suzuki be more competitive.
