However, before taking part in the 2015 MotoGP season, we will see Suzuki participating in the last race of 2014 season. Thanks to a wildcard entry that has allowed the Suzuki team to take part in the Gran Premio Generali de la Comunitat Valenciana.

By re-joining MotoGP, Suzuki is looking to develop more attractive and better products for its customers through technical feedback. It will also help the company to improve its brand image. Suzuki is coming back to MotoGP after a break of two years, as it has temporarily suspended itself from participating in the premier class racing from 2012.

However, the Japanese firm carried on with the development of its machines so it could attain high performance in the premier class racing. The company also continued the development as it wanted to give feedback on technology to the models that are under production like GSX-R series. So it could produce high speed and maneuverable machines.
