It will also go ahead with a wildcard appearance in the 2014 season finale at Valencia, with test rider Randy de Puniet set to give their new 1000cc MotoGP racer called GSX-RR replacing the old GSV-R, its racing debut in mid-November.
Suzuki suspended its MotoGP activities at the end of 2011 season, citing the global economic crisis, but since 2013 it has taken part in official tests developing a new Inline four-cylinder motorcycle with former factory Kawasaki MotoGP rider Randy de Puniet and long-time Suzuki tester Nobuatsu Aoki.
The Suzuki deal will be Aleix Espargaro's first full factory MotoGP ride for the current NGM Forward Racing rider.
While his new team-mate current Moto3 champion Maverick Vinales steps into MotoGP after just one season in Moto2, who is currently third in Moto2 this year.
While, former Yamaha MotoGP leader Davide Brivio will be the teams manager for next season.
Suzuki has a luxurious Motorcycling career in the Premier class. Back in the 1970s, Suzuki established themselves in the 500cc/MotoGP world championships with Barry Sheene taking two 500cc titles in 1976 and 1977.
Follow by Marco Lucchinelli in 1981 and Franco Uncini in 1982. Then Kevin Schwantz for Suzuki in 1993. And with Suzuki last winning the 500cc title with Kenny Roberts, Jr in 2000 with wins far between.
It will be an exciting and challenging year ahead for Suzuki in MotoGP.
