Yoshimura Suzuki’s Spies Wins AMA Superstock Title & Race at Road Atlanta M4 EMGO Suzuki’s May podiums at Road Atlanta Round
10 – AMA Superstock Series Braselton, GA Road
Atlanta Aug. 31 – Sept. 2, 2007 Yoshimura
Suzuki’s Ben Spies clinched the 2007 AMA Superstock Championship after
winning the penultimate race of the season at Road Atlanta in Braselton,
Ga., on Sunday afternoon. With one round of AMA Superstock remaining,
Spies and his Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 went for the win even though he
only had to finish in sixth place or better to take the title. With this
win, Spies lays claim to seven of eight races so far this year.
Additionally, defending AMA Superbike Champion Spies won pole position
for this race, his sixth of the season. Team M4 EMGO Suzuki’s Geoff
May finished in an impressive third place in the 15-lap AMA Superstock
race. This is May’s fourth podium of the season in AMA Superstock. Ben
Spies: “It was a good race for us today. I wanted to win the
championship but I wanted to win the race pretty bad too. So I just tried to
put in consistent lap times on the Yoshimura Suzuki GSXR1000.It’s
great to win the Superstock championship for Suzuki. The Yoshimura
Suzuki GSXR1000
is
an amazing bike and has worked great at every track we’ve raced at
this year. I want to thank Suzuki and my crew for working so hard for me all
season long.” Geoff
May: “The whole M4 EMGO Suzuki crew was great this
weekend. They gave me a good bike to race in the Suzuki GSX-R1000 and the Pirelli
tires held up great in the heat. We had a good, solid race but
the
guys in front were a little quicker than we were. Then Aaron (Yates) had
some trouble with some lappers and gave me the podium spot. I’d rather
not have gotten it that way, but we’ll take it and
hopefully end the season strong at Laguna Seca.” All
of Suzuki’s road race teams will return for the final round of the AMA
Superbike Series at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California,
the weekend of Sept. 15 - 16, 2007. AMA

Suzuki
and Cobra Engineering Unveil Custom Boulevard M109R Power
Cruiser at International Motorcycle Show in New York New
York (Jan. 19, 2007)
– American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC), in partnership with Cobra
Engineering, today unveiled a fully customized Boulevard M109R power
cruiser at the New York International Motorcycle Show (IMS) at the Jacob
K. Javits Convention Center. The
bike will be on display at the Suzuki booth (Booth S) through January
21. Suzuki’s
flagship Boulevard M109R – the most powerful cruiser Suzuki has ever
produced – has been transformed into a heavily modified hot rod-style
cruiser, representing the company’s strong racing heritage. The Cobra Special Projects Division, led by renowned builder
Denny Berg, utilized elements of Suzuki’s championship-winning GSX-R
sportbike line, including a GSX-R 20th anniversary blue and white paint
scheme, GSX-R1000 foot pegs, and sportbike-style tail section, seat and
handlebar risers. The
custom M109R also features a more exposed frame, showing off the 1783cc,
liquid-cooled, V-twin powerplant with dual overhead cams,
four valves per cylinder and seamless Suzuki electronic fuel injection.
The M109R’s stock engine has been designed to produce massive
waves of torque from just off idle all the way to redline.
And, the chassis comfortably handles all the power and torque of
the massive V-twin, while also delivering agile handling and a
comfortable riding position. “We’re
thrilled to work with the Cobra Special Projects Division on this
awe-inspiring custom design,” said Glenn Hansen, communications
manager, ASMC. “We know
that cruiser riders want ‘true’ high performance bikes and custom
accessories to fit their individual styles and needs.
With an array of Cobra accessories combined with the M109R’s
already powerful engine design, this customized cruiser delivers on all
levels.” 2007 Boulevard M109R Suzuki
introduced the much-anticipated Boulevard M109R cruiser to its 2006
line-up to satisfy consumers’ needs for a more powerful cruiser. The M109R features Suzuki’s race-proven technology from the
championship-winning GSX-R sportbike line, boasting awesome power with
its 1783cc V-Twin powerplant and an innovative
look with aggressive styling and long, sleek flowing lines that define a
new generation of Suzuki cruising machines. From the GSX-R inspired front fender to the
purposeful front headlight to the long low fuel tank and stylish rear
fender, the M109R drips with deep rich paint complemented by mirror-like
chrome
accents throughout the entire design.
Other
stylish features include a wide fuel tank with a generous 5.2-gallon
capacity, a low comfortable seat, integrated frame side covers and a
uniquely designed radiator cowl. Upfront,
a streamlined headlight cover houses a unique trapezoid-shaped
multi-reflector halogen headlight and a maintenance free LED taillight
built into the tail section. Chrome
dual slash cut mufflers complete the fashionable look of the M109R. For 2007, Suzuki introduced the Boulevard M109R Limited Edition
model. The limited edition
M109R features all
the benefits of the popular cruiser with a specially designed paint
scheme, textured seat, clear taillight with red LEDs, clear turn signals
and other design extras. Rounding out the 2007 Boulevard
cruiser line are the M50, M50 Limited Edition, S40, S50, S83, C50, C50T,
C50C, C90 and C90T. Cycle
