Exhaust #320: Suzuki's Chris Wheeler on a Possible Comeback

About this episode

Jason Weigandt discusses Suzuki's racing history and potential comeback with Chris Wheeler.

Yeah! Weege Show Wednesday tracks the rise and fall and rise and fall and the rise of Suzuki's racing fortunes, with Jason Weigandt tracking the history and then chatting with Suzuki's U.S. racing man Chris Wheeler. Is Ken Roczen's run--which has put him in title contention for this year's title--enough to convince the brand to make a huge comeback (with new bikes?!) in the motocross segment? Also: Weege's first Suzuki. From 1984. A strange time. This week's Weege Show Wednesday is brought to you by Yoshimura, Yamaha, Fly Racing, OnTrackSchool.com , Throttle Jockey and Motosporttraining.com and its MotoXTrainer.
