Suzuki is spending considerable time on the fuel injection and engine management system, so it is completely flexible. That will allow the engine characteristics to be tailored to meet the rider's needs and a track's characteristics.
The first official test of the bike will happen soon. The racing season starts at Suzuka in Japan on April 7.
