Suzuki motorsports fans, get ready to be disappointed once again. Although unsurprising, and perhaps even expected, Suzuki has officially announced its withdrawal from the British Superbike Championship. Naturally, this is in alignment with the company's new strategy to veer away from racing for the time being, and instead, focus its resources on more sustainable initiatives.
Prior to its announcement of withdrawal from the BSB Championship, Suzuki also pulled out of the MotoGP, as well as the Endurance World Championship. To make things even worse for performance-oriented aficionados, the Japanese manufacturer pulled the plug on the GSX-R1000R in the European market, although the liter-class supersport will continue to live on in certain markets.
