The
show of strength towards the emerging Asian market and Suzuki's
priorities in this direction have been digested and appreciated by the
Rockstar Energy Suzuki World MX1 team.
From
the Grand Prix of United States at Glen Helen, the third round of the
FIM Motocross World Championship on May 15th, the factory RM-Z450s of
Clement Desalle and Steve Ramon have been carrying the 'Change &
Challenge' logo created by Suzuki Motor Corporation. The design has
already been incorporated in the scheme of the GSV-R MotoGP machine.
"Obviously
in motocross we can struggle for space on our motorcycles compared to
say a road racing bike, but we were very happy to find a spot for
'Change & Challenge'," said Team Owner Sylvain Geboers. "This is a
positive initiative from Suzuki after a tough few years for the industry
and of course after the bad situation to hit Japan recently. We offer
our full support."
The
'Change & Challenge' logo was originally placed on the rear fenders
of the works machines and then shifted to a more prominent position in
the black shade of the seat. "It is one of those things that makes you
aware of being in the Suzuki family so it is pretty cool to do," said
current MX1 World Championship leader Desalle, winner of two Grands Prix
in 2011.
