The point, of course, is to say that a new/updated Suzuki GSX-S1000 is slated to come on April 26th, likely as a 2022 model.
Ex-racers make great analysts for motorcycle racing. This is because they have a keen understanding of how racing a motorcycle works, and thus offer an unparalleled insight into the sport.
This is why so often we see ex-racers as the pitlane reporters in MotoGP, WorldSBK, and MotoAmerica. Moreover, the position is an excellent career path for someone whose days of standing on the podium are over.
How does this work in the 21st century though? Roughly the same, but with social media and YouTube giving rival to the small screen, some great racers are seeing new opportunities.
Take for example, Jorge Lorenzo, who has just started his own YouTube channel, where the five-time world champion is offering his thoughts and analysis for free to his followers.

After tons of speculation about the prospect of an updated Hayabusa, Suzuki seems finally ready to shake the streets again with a new version of this iconic sport bike.
There have been so many rumors about the next-generation of the Suzuki Hayabusa, that we dedicated our own series of stories to the onslaught of speculations, inside infos, and rumors. But now, the real-deal seems just a few days away.
We say this because of two teaser videos that Suzuki has posted to its YouTube channel, which boast of a new motorcycle debuting on February 5th.

After a rest day on Saturday, Sunday’s Stage 7 was always going to be a tough one, as it is what the Dakar Rally calls a “marathon” stage.
