BRASELTON, Ga., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Yoshimura Suzuki's Ben Spies clinched the 2007 AMA Superstock Championship after winning the penultimate race of the season at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Ga., on Sunday afternoon. With one round of AMA Superstock remaining, Spies went for the win even though he only had to finish in sixth place or better to take the title. Yoshimura Suzuki's Spies is also the defending 2006 AMA Superbike Champion and currently leads the points in the premier class this year as well.
"It was a good race for us today," said Spies. "I wanted to win the championship but I wanted to win the race pretty bad too. So I just tried to put in consistent lap times on the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000. It's great to win the Superstock championship for Suzuki. The Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 is an amazing bike and has worked great at every track we've raced at this year. I want to thank Suzuki and my crew for working so hard for me all season long."
En route to capturing the 2007 AMA Superstock championship, the 23-year- old Texan has won an impressive seven out of eight races so far this season. Spies also captured six pole positions in AMA Superstock, including the coveted starting spot at Road Atlanta this weekend. Prior to that, Spies also won the 2003 AMA Formula Xtreme championship in his rookie season for the factory-supported Yoshimura Suzuki team.
"Winning the 2007 AMA Superstock championship is a great accomplishment for Suzuki and the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 as well as for Ben," said Mel Harris, American Suzuki Vice President Motorcycle/ATV Division. "Over the last few years, we've asked a lot from Ben and he hasn't disappointed us. Ben is a talented young rider and he truly brings out the best in the Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000."

New Suzuki Products for 2008 Expected to Create a ‘Second Selling Season’ Can You Say Hayabusa?
SALEM, Ohio, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Giant Motorsports, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GMOS) (the 'Company') based in the Midwestern United States is one of the largest Suzuki dealerships in America. Giant is looking forward to the fall season because Suzuki is going to provide North American Dealerships with more new and exciting products that are expected to boost sales during a traditionally slower period.
'We've been lucky so far this year, in that we've managed to keep sales a little closer to flat than the rest of the industry, which was down about 9% overall for its first quarter sales this year", said Giant COO Greg Haehn, "with the upcoming release of 14 new and updated Suzuki products, we anticipate stronger than normal 3rd and 4th quarters. Hayabusas are hot; it's the fastest mass-produced bike in the world and people have been anxiously awaiting its release. So we're excited." Led by its flagship sport bike, the Hayabusa, Suzuki is looking to increase its already large following with the new models. The redesign of the Hayabusa comes after years of dominance in its class. Suzuki introduced 2 brand new models as well; the much-anticipated B-King muscle bike, and the entry level GSF650X. The ever popular GSX600R and GSX750R are being updated as well.
Giant Motorsports, Inc. is a retailer of new and used motorcycles, all- terrain vehicles (ATVs), scooters, parts and accessories, extended service contracts, and aftermarket motorcycle products. The Company's two superstores, which are located in Chicago, Illinois and Salem, Ohio, also include service departments and arrange financing for customers. The "Big Box" locations draw customers from neighboring cities and states. It's long- term plan is to consolidate the fragmented power sports industry through acquisitions.
The Chicago store operates under the name 'Chicago Cycle' and the Salem store operates under the name 'Andrews Cycles'.
