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.

 

Tyler Scott snagged pole position during MotoAmerica Supersport Qualifying Two (Q2) Saturday morning at Circuit of The Americas (COTA), in Austin, Texas. Riding his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750, the 17-year-old from Pennsylvania lapped the 3.4-mile, 20-turn course in 2:13.291 to lead the field of 32 riders.

Xavi Fores, the current Championship point leader, was second-best with a lap of 2:13.327 on his Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati Panigale V2.

Scott’s teammate Teagg Hobbs claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a time of 2:14.510.

Row Two starters include Josh Hayes (2:14.512) on his Squid Hunter Racing Yamaha, Jake Lewis (2:14.704) on his Disrupt Racing Suzuki GSX-R750, and newcomer Torin Collins (2:15.461) on the third Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki GSX-R750.
