As the Suzuki Motor Corporation get set to celebrate 50 years of international racing at this year’s Isle of Man TT races - the venue where it all began in 1960, the Japanese manufacturer has announced another “first” on the Island, with the news that Loris Capirossi’s GSV-R MotoGP bike will take a lap off the famous TT course - the first ever MotoGP machine to lap the 37.73 mile ( 60.7km) course.
Announced earlier this week, the same Suzuki GSV-R800 that took Loris Capirossi to his 300th grand prix race at the opening round of the 2010 world championship at Qatar in April, will be piloted by 2008 TT winner Cameron Donald after the senior race on Friday June 11, with Loris joining the Suzuki parade beforehand on a GSX-R1000.
