Suzuki joined the rest of the MotoGP grid by formally revealing their 2015 livery for the GSXR-R.
The Japanese manufacturer is returning to the class after a three year hiatus with Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales forming a potent rider lineup aboard what has looked to be a very promising package during the pre-season testing.
While the bike's livery is very similar to how it was painted during testing the primary change is that the team has confirmed that Ectar, Suzuki's in house high performance engine oil, will be the title sponsor.
The winter has been a difficult one for Suzuki with engine reliability issues blighting their early work at Valencia and Jerez but last month's Malaysian tests proved the reliability of the package and also confirmed to the paddock that the chassis is one of the most user friendly on the grid. Finding additional engine performance will be key for Suzuki and in Sepang team sources confirmed that once the European rounds begin in May the team will start bringing on stream developments to increase the power output of the bike.
The final pre-season test will take place in Qatar next weekend with the first race of the season on March 29.
