From a press release:

WEBSTER GEARS UP FOR NEW SEASON

Nine times World Champion Steve Webster is a step closer to racing in the new British Sidecar Championship as his Suzuki machine began to take shape on Monday ­sporting the GSX-R Suzuki manufacturer livery design.



Webster’s machine was given its manufacturer look over the weekend and the Yorkshire ace took delivery of the bodywork on Monday, from the specialist M & M paintwork concern in Stoke-on-Trent.



“The bodywork looks fantastic,” said Webster. “The manufacturer colours and the clean, white image are a great base to add my personal sponsor and partner brands for the 2004 season.”



He continued: “We’ve been looking at designers’ illustrations over the past few months but to see the machine complete is impressive. Tim Reeves said the same about his Suzuki paintwork last week and I’ve heard from Ben Birchall and Stuart Woodard and they’re impressed with their Yamaha looks.”



Webster will race in the 14-round championship with passenger Paul Woodhead as a major Sidecar Championship joins the British Superbike programme for the first time in more than 15 years.
