ALL NEW Suzuki GSXR-1000R – Own the race track.

Our resident test rider, seasoned Superbike racer and multiple time champion John Defensor said that the GSX-R 1000R he tested at the Clark International Speedway is an excellent platform for a competitive race bike in the PSBK and that it will be expected for Team Suzuki to win trophies should they decide to field in a team in the Philippine Superbike races.

The King of Sportbikes is has reached the Philippine shores and Wheeltek Motor Sales Corporation together with Suzuki Philippines Inc. are making sure that the preparation is set for the royal arrival by gathering two of the country’s most esteemed sportbike riders to put the most awesome GSX-R ever produced to test.
Fresh from testing with Team Suzuki Ecstar, the two GSX-R1000R units were flown from Australia for its debut appearance in the Philippines at the 11th IR Bike Fest and Trade Show. Following this, the country is the first ASEAN nation to test ride the unit. One of the two GSX-R1000Rs were ridden by Philippine Superbike Champions Miguel Bichara and Anthony Roman at Clark International Speedway (CIS) wherein they will prove that this machine has got what it takes to own the racetrack.

Bichara and Roman ran the individual testing and were supervised by Suzuki Philippines Service Team. After the test activity, a press conference was held with select media friends alongside Wheeltek and Suzuki Executives. Present in the event are Wheeltek Motor Sales Corporation VP for Sales and Marketing Mr. Roscoe Odulio and General Manager for Big Bikes Mr. Bobby Orbe with Suzuki Philippines Regional Motorcycle General Manager Mr. Jun Bulot and Regional Sales Manager for North Luzon Mr. Erick Fernandez.
