It will be hard for Suzuki to come back with that bike when the spanish crazies are trying to change the rules every 5 minutes

suzuki, just forget the 501c non-profit world of motorbikes for now and focus on sorting that car line. you'll be glad you did. we're a dead end. 12 million units sold in 2011 can't be wrong.

Good to see!

Why are they wasting money???

Testing a 2012 spec bike for 2014....it will be different specs by then.

Total waste. Of peoples time & of money they could direct to something worth while.

@stupid suzuki

Are you kidding me? R&D takes time... it doesn't happen overnight. It's easier and I bet cheaper to keep developing it now rather than stopping and scrambling to catch up later. You can't just throw money and resources and pray it will work out.

I think this is a great sign of Suzuki's commitment to MotoGP in spite of their financial struggles.

@carboncanyon

I can see his point.

Will there be prototype factory bikes in 2014??

Will it be all CRT by then.

the R&D they are doing on a current 1000cc will be obsolete by 2014

Maybe we'll be lucky and see a one off full race of the 1000 Zook at Motegi this upcoming season.

Good news - hope to see Suzuki back soon.

let's have a whip round to see if we can raise them some money to go racing....

Yet again Suzuki going in half ****d. Quit or race The way Dorna is talking of rule changes already so why bother developing a 2012 spec race bike?
