Crescent Suzuki will be moving to World Superbikes next season and have already signed up Leon Camier as one of their riders and now have announced that renowned Japanese tuning company Yoshimura will build, supply and develop the engines and exhaust systems for Crescent Suzuki’s GSX-R1000s.
Yoshimura engineers have already spent some time at the Crescent race headquarters in Verwood and evaluated the development already made with the 2011 engine and devolopment will continue to make the bikes even more competitive and the team will be testing later this month with Camier.
Yoshimura has had several of their own wildcard entries in World Superbikes, but this agreement with Crescent seems to exclude that the Japanese team will be entering the series anytime soon and it also seems that the British team will not be getting any factory support directly from the Japanese manufacturer.
“When Fujio and Yohei came to see me at the Japanese Grand Prix to discuss this partnership, it was clear that their passion and enthusiasm to work with Crescent Suzuki on the global stage was genuine and something they felt strongly about.
For us as a team it is a significant level of assistance and a substantial boost to our performance potential.
The Yoshimura company was built on engineering the best possible performance from engines and exhaust systems, and that principle has never changed.
It is also very pleasing that the whole attitude to the project is of open communication and using the best combination of Yoshimura’s own concepts and ideas and those which already exist in the Crescent developed engine.
Yoshimura is a global household name in the motorcycle industry and we are very proud that they have shown such trust in the Crescent Suzuki World Superbike team to partner us so closely, and for us to uphold their honour on the world stage.
” said team owner Paul Denning.
Fujio Yoshimura (Owner, Yoshimura Japan): “We at Yoshimura greatly appreciate this collaboration and it will be our highest priority.
Thanks to Paul (Denning) and Crescent Suzuki for trusting our engine tuning capabilities and our passion towards competing at the front of the 2012 WSBK Championship Series.
We believe Crescent Suzuki has a record of structuring the best racing team in the BSB championship series, with very dedicated technical and supportive team members presenting the most competitive machinery and riders at all races.
We hope that the partnership between Yoshimura and Crescent Suzuki will be the most perfectly matched racing team on the WSBK circuits!”
