The Suzuki GSX-RR is a road racing motorcycle developed to race in the 1,000 cc (61 cu in) MotoGP series. Officially introduced on 30 September 2014 as the GSV-R replacement, it was developed by Suzuki since 2012.
It began officially racing at the last event of the season, the 2014 Valencian Community motorcycle Grand Prix at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, Valencia, Spain, ridden by Randy de Puniet, the Suzuki development and test rider, as a wild-card entry, who failed to complete more than half of the race.[1][2]
Suzuki suspended its MotoGP activities at the end of 2011 season, citing the global economic crisis, but since 2013 it has taken part in official tests developing a new Inline four-cylinder motorcycle.[3]
