Suzuki Alstare Starts 2009 Test Preparations
During the test, held mostly in good conditions, Yukio Kagayama and Max Neukirchner started to work with the all-new 2009 GSX-R1000 Suzuki at the demanding circuit and understand the new bike. They completed over 420 laps and gave a lot of valuable feedback to the team, Kagayama lapping faster than his time earlier, while Neukirchner was also on the pace.
Before the test, Alstare's mechanics spent the best part of two weeks in Japan building the bikes before they were shipped to Phillip Island and the bikes will now be sent to the Kyalami circuit in South Africa for the first official test of the 2009 season on December 10-12th.
