Suzuki has officially extended their stay in MotoGP for the following 5 years from 2022-2026.

The Japanese marquee now joins KTM, Ducati, Honda and Yamaha in filling out the new contract extension.

Suzuki recorded their first premier-class win in 2000 with Kenny Roberts Jr, who clinched the title with two races to spare.

Then between 2002-2011, Suzuki only claimed one race win before bowing out of MotoGP because of the financial crisis before returning in 2021 by having an all-new GSX-RR that helps propelled the career of Maverick Vinales, Alex Rins and Joan Mir.

Mir become Suzuki 2nd world champion by defying the odds to rule the 2021 season regardless of the global pandemic.

Suzuki is currently thinking about fielding a satellite team in front of the 2022 season, with Petronas, VR46 and Gresini as possible candidate.

Aprilia is now the last remaining manufacturer which has yet to re-sign with Dorna.
