The latest bike sports a similar livery to last year after Rizla renewed its deal earlier this month. Suzuki had previously carried an all-black livery in testing.
The works Suzuki effort again has just two bikes on the MotoGP grid after talks to supply further bikes to the Aspar squad, currently in 125 and 250, came to nothing last season.
The 2009 800cc Suzuki has a short, stubby silencer that has already been dubbed a 'baked bean can' exhaust. Its purpose is to reduce the noise for the riders, and so aid their concentration. Yamaha has implemented a similar system on Valentino Rossi's bike in recent years.
Technically, the bike is an evolution of last year's machine, and has shown promising pace in testing so far, running in the top three at Sepang and the top six in Qatar.
