Team Suzuki MotoGP riders, Maverick Vinales and Aleix Espargaro, along with Team Manger Davide Brivio, spent time at Suzuki’s headquarters in Hamamatsu, Japan, where they took part in a celebration party for the new riders and the company’s return to MotoGP. They also paid a visit to Suzuki Plaza, took part in a wind tunnel test at the Ryuyo Laboratory, and capped off their visit ripping some laps aboard Suzuki’s RM-Z450 motocross machines. Through it all, a film crew captured the festivities. Watch how the Spaniards adapt to three days in Japan in the video below.

Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
