27 February 2008
Australian rider Robbie Bugden has secured back-to-back New Zealand Superbike titles with one round still remaining in the championship - a testament to his sheer dominance as Suzuki again stamped its authority to own the racetrack in 2008. Victory aboard his Suzuki GSX-R1000 at round four at Manfield means Budgen does not even need to turn up to the final round at Pukekohe to be crowned 2008 Champion.

Ramon Fifth On Sugo Gate
26 May 2007
Team Suzuki's Steve Ramon finished Timed Practice with the fifth fastest lap at a sunny but breezy Sugo for the Grand Prix of Japan and the sixth round of 15 in the 2007 FIM MX1 World Championship. The Sugo circuit was as well prepped and challenging as it had been for the previous two years. The soft terrain had a liberal coating of heavy rain throughout Friday afternoon that caused the mud to become rough and rutty very quickly into the practice and qualification schedule. Some sections remained boggy and slippery which presented some problems.

Suzuki MX1 In German Top Six
13 May 2007
Team Suzuki riders Kevin Strijbos and Steve Ramon have qualified fourth and sixth fastest on their RM-Z450s respectively at a blowy and cloudy Talkessel circuit in Teutschenthal for the Grand Prix of Germany and the fifth round of the MX1 World Championship. Both Belgians had to adapt to a reduced schedule today after strong winds on Friday caused havoc across the open circuit near Halle and prevented the track set-up from being finished. Saturday's timetable was cut that evening and meant just one free session and the 30 minute Timed Practice for the MX1 riders to learn a course that boasted a new loop section and a fresh terrain with sand mixed in the soil to soften the dirt.
