Suzuki Motorcycles USA Carries on Magnanimous Tradition
All racers know that racing is an uphill ride and danger is your stiffest competitor. And Suzuki Motorcycles USA, officially known as American Suzuki Motor Corporation or ASMC very well know that racers are pushing themselves to gain their spot on the winners podium. To reward racers for their hard work and for choosing to ride Suzuki, the leading motorcycle company came up with the Suzuki Contingency Program 26 years ago that supports both amateur and pro racers of the Motocross and Road Race divisions.

For the 2012 racing season, the leading motorcycle company is continuing this free-handed support, and is pleased to make known to the public that it is allotting $4.2 million in contingency, as announced by its amateur support manager, Pat Alexander. This is in support for the best racing talents and their way of rewarding racers who buy the RM/RM-Z and GSX-R lines of motorcycles. These are the specific 2011 and 2012 models eligible for the program:
