Suzuki dealership Powerslide Motorcycles will debut the GSX-8R in the Pirelli National Sportbike Championship this weekend at Oulton Park with Taylor Moreton as they become the fifth different manufacturer to feature on the grid.
The Powerslide by Sublime team will line up this weekend following previous experiences in both the Superbike and Superstock classes, showcasing the GSX-8R in the class for the final three rounds of the season.
Team Owner Brad Clarke commented: “It is always a big task to convert a brand new bike into a full race bike for the first time, but we wanted to get it right and also be in a position to offer our support to other riders by having parts available.
“The Powerslide by Sublime GSX-8R looks absolutely fantastic and I’m excited to be back with Taylor this weekend. Our main aim for the rest of this season is to gather as much information as we can so we can make improvements over the winter. I know the potential of the bike and the potential of Taylor, but like everything, it will take time to get comfortable and dialled in.
“I would like to say a massive thanks to our sponsors who have assisted with this project including Del at Sublime and Paul at Moto 46 who have put in some serious graft to get us to this point. Finally a huge thanks to Lewis and Paul at PCR who managed to help turn our bike around at the drop of a hat to get us here this weekend."
