Suzuki Gixxer to make debut in national motorcycle racing

Over 100 riders will compete in the MMSC FMSCI Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship, which begins here on June 6, with Suzuki Gixxer making its debut.
The first round of the two-day championship has three classes -- group D unmodified up to 130 cc for novice, Group D up to 165 CC also for novice and group C (limited modification) up to 165 cc for open riders.
Suzuki Motorcycle India is the new entrant in the One Make Championship with its Suzuki Gixxer Cup 2015 which will feature two categories -- Novice for new riders and Open for experienced racers, a release from the organisers said.

The Suzuki Gixxer Cup will have special, race prepared Suzuki Gixxer SF150cc, the latest addition to their stable and the most awarded motorcycle in India, it claimed.
In order to spread the sport and encourage young talent, riders can take part in only one group/class of race so that there will be a new champion in every class.
Likewise, any rider is allowed to take part in only one One Make Championship apart from the National Championship.
Thus, when the other One Make Series like the Honda, Yamaha and TVS restart from the next round, there will be fresh crop of riders in various championships, it said.

To improve the safety and quality of the championships, all riders should have taken part in any race earlier or attended a professional racing program, the release said.
