Consequently they new Supersport 300 class in WSBK gets through its growing pains and Suzuki gets the new 300 approved as one of the bikes allowed in the series. Adrea Iannone takes the MotoGP bike into lots of top 10 finishes that Suzuki capitalizes on and boom, five years on the new Suzuki little bike is a competitive seller in the class.
That's what I see between the lines in this press release.

Its an Ultra-light starter bike, companies are not going to dump money into research for the bikes. they are gonna just build a cheap bike build for new riders. then expert riders will take the bike and make the proper adjustments allowed by the rules of their club.
