Description

Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

Whilst competing in the 250cc World Championships, Eskil Suter founded Suter Racing Technology. Over the years, his company has developed a reputation for excellence in motorcycle chassis design with work in MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3, WSBK, MXGP, and S1GP. Built specifically by Suter to compete in Moto2 from 2010-2018, the MMX2 won three straight Constructors World Championships (2010-2012).

This specific example was Johann Zarco’s 2013 Moto2 race bike with IodaRacing – he finished 9th that season on this machine. In April 2018, a previous owner had Zarco sign a body panel while at the MotoGP Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

This example is VIN: 045-088. The owner purchased the bike six years ago. “We purchased it from the collector here in Dallas, as he reached out when he was ready to move it along. He moved on to other Moto 2 bikes, and other things and was just making more room I suppose. GP Motorbikes assisted him with the purchase of the bike from Mexico, back in 2018. We acquired the bike, got the bodywork made and installed and was going to be the owner’s ‘small bike’ for smaller tracks like Motorsport Ranch (where we are based), and I don’t think he ever gelled with it. We thought it would be ridden more frequently; the owner loves his BMW HP4 Race and doesn’t want to ride anything else…. He isn’t interested in being a collector. We have a climate-controlled lounge where it has been the center piece for the last year or so. Moving forward we just know that it isn’t going to get any use and realize it is time for it to go to someone who is either a big Zarco fan or going to enjoy and ride the hell out of it!”

The odometer shows 433.9 miles.
