Scotsman John Crawford, who will be competing in the British Superbike Championship onboard a factory backed GSX-R750 machine in 2001, will headline the GSX-R Factory Squad. Crawford, a two-time British Supersport Champion, is one of the most popular riders in the paddock and a real title contender.
Karl Harris will race Suzuki's stunning GSX-600 in the British Supersport Championship. Twenty-one year-old Harris is a former European Superstock Champion and one of the brightest young stars in British racing. He is one of the hot-favourites to take the title in 2001.
Harris will be joined in the squad by a yet-to-be-named rider who will compete on a similar GSX-R600 in the new Junior Superstock class. Suzuki is hoping to announce this rider soon.
John Crockford completes the Suzuki GSX-R factory Squad line-up. The ex-Superbike star will be competing in the British Superstock series onboard Suzuki's new GSX-R1000 in 2001.
