DAVID “Davo” Johnson and Gary “Gazza” Johnson will ride for Team York Suzuki/Motul Oils in next year's Classic TT.

Since forming seven years ago, Team York Suzuki /Motul Oils have become one of the most successful in the Classic TT at Superbike level.

Team manager Kevin Pearson said: “I am pleased to announce that for the 2017 F1 Classic TT, the team will be running two Suzuki F1 Classic Superbikes."

The second bike has been purchased by long term sponsor of the team Chris Brack.

“It’s fantastic news that we have managed to keep both riders in the team which will make them a formidable force in 2017," said Brack. "Kevin and his team have done wonders since 2010, on a very small budget, and now with two strings to the bow, the aim is to get back on that podium.”

The team will run in new colours and continue with long term sponsor, the York Suzuki Center. They will also be Suzuki GB’s sole representative during the 2017 Oliver’s Mount season.
