When Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki rolls into VIRginia International Raceway on May 19, they’ll have three Suzuki GSX-R750s on board. That’s the word from team principal Chris Ulrich, who confirmed that teammates Sam Lochoff, Liam Grant, and Tyler Scott will be aboard “Supersport Next Generation”<\/a> GSX-R750s for round two of the 2022 MotoAmerica Supersport Championship.<\/p>

At the Supersport class’s opening round in Atlanta, Lochoff became the first professional road racer anywhere in the world to race the GSX-R750 in Supersport competition. After his crew methodically dialed in the brand-new bike’s aftermarket electronic throttle system (whose creation and development was spearheaded exclusively by Team Hammer), Lochoff finished as runner-up in both of Road Atlanta’s Supersport races.<\/p>
