Aussie Superbike challenger Wayne Maxwell has switched to Suzuki power for the 2013 season and replaces champion Josh Waters who has left for British Superbike glory.
Maxwell (30), who finished runner-up last year behind Waters in the ASBK series, is now setting his sights on a first Australian Superbike title with Suzuki aboard the factory supported GSX-R1000.
"I'm very excited to be joining Team Suzuki for this season and to work with both Phil and Lynne Tainton is something I'm really looking forward to as well. I already feel really comfortable with the GSX-R1000 and the atmosphere within the team is really fantastic," said Maxwell.
"I have a point to prove, so to have this opportunity with Team Suzuki and the Phil Tainton Racing team is unbelievable. Suzuki has a great legacy with success in Superbike racing on a domestic level and it is my priority for 2013 to help the team in defending the title."
