CORONA EXTRA SUZUKI ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH FMF

Corona Extra Suzuki is very pleased to announce the partnership with acclaimed pipe builder FMF for the 2004 and 2005 Superbike Series. FMF has been deeply involved in off-road racing for many years but only recently moved into the on-road sportbike market. FMF President Don Emler said, “We felt the timing was right and the Corona Extra Suzuki Team sponsorship a perfect opportunity for us.” FMF will be developing exhaust systems for road and track in conjunction with Corona Extra Suzuki.

Corona Extra Suzuki Principal Tim Saunders said, “We are very excited to be working with FMF. They have many years experience in pipe building and terrific in-house development capability. We have already been able to get significant power gains on our 600’s working with the FMF dyno team. Also, FMF is a very progressive company in marketing and brand development which offers many opportunities to build exposure for Corona and the Team.”
