Over the last several years, Suzuki has been utilizing the state of the art technology derived from MotoGP racing in the development of new motorcycles. The benefits now expand well beyond engine and chassis refinements to the development of a new high-performance motorcycle oil line: ECSTAR Suzuki Genuine Oil.

 

 

Former MotoGP star Jeremy McWilliams took provisional pole position during MotoAmerica Mission Super Hooligan Qualifying One (Q1) Friday afternoon at Circuit of The Americas, in Austin, Texas. With ambient temperatures approaching 105 degrees F, the Ulsterman lapped the 3.4-mile course in 2:17.055 on his Progressive Insurance/Mission Foods Indian FTR 1200.
