Yoshimura Suzuki Shop Tour

Mat Mladin raced 13 of his 14 AMA Superbike seasons with Yoshimura Suzuki. The team's den mother, Rich Doan, gave us a tour of the Yosh shop during which he made a startling confession. Yosh sucked once upon a time, like a century ago. We were utterly stunned by this news.

So much space, yet shrewd efficiencies running several Suzuki teams under the
one roof. I thought the entrance bit was it at first! ;-)I was just blown way by
their machine shop, - I've never seen so much tooling equipment in a race shop
before.

Thanks for that Dave, it was brilliant.

Agree brilliant interview.

I'm left with the suspense of part 2 of the
interview. I don't want the ringing of "We Sucked" to stay in my head
for much longer. = ]

Everything takes time to get batter at it and you guys have brought the best out
of not just one but two riders, lets make it a trifecta ! !

Many folks dont remember that Honda used to bring over thier top of the line
superbikes from HRC/Japan to race in AMA, BSB, & WSB; fully developed and ready
to win. Yosh was basically a privateer shop with Am. Suzuki backing to go race.
RRW is always showing old photos of the old way 'Pops' Yoshimura and his family
working race bikes. To grow to be as successful as they have become is a
testament to thier hard work.
