Suzuki has announced that John Reynolds will take to the track aboard a ♍GSV-R MotoGP machine at Brands Hatch for a series of demonstration laps as part of the manufacturer's anniversary celebrations.

The Japanese firm has arranged a number of events to mark its 50 years in m🍸otorsport and 25 years of the GSX-R, with the Brands Hatch round of the British Superbike Championship set to be the celebratory pinnacle.

Having already confirmed MotoGP rider Alvaro Bautista will ▨ride the Brands Hatch Grand Prix layout on his GSV-R, Suzuki has now revealed that former BSB Suzuki champion Reynolds will be joining him.

"The GSX-R range is naturally very special to me," said Reynolds, who now acts as Suzuki GB's race director. "I ♚clinched my last championship on one, but it's also the bike I have the fondest memories of. I'm absolutely delighted to be given the honour of riding the GSV-R800 at Brands Hatch for the celebrations and can't wait to put the old leathers back on and lap in front of the crowds again."

🐬BSB alumni Leon Haslam and Sylvain Guintoli will also complete laps of the circuit aboard their World Superbike Alstare-prepared GSX-R1000s.
