Today has seen another first in the world of motorcycling, as Suzuki launched a new website specifically designed for female bikers. The website called Girl Torque aims to provide something unique to existing and new female motorcyclists.
Developed by a group of experienced female Suzuki dealers, Girl Torque provides information and tips on all things bike related, but with a woman’s touch.
To celebrate the launch of Girl Torque Suzuki are running a special bash at Donington Park, where riders can take part in a full trackday, meet some of the Suzuki racers and more.
Suzuki GB’s Michael Le Flay, explained the thinking behind Girl Torque:”First things first, we don’t see female motorcyclists any differently from male riders, but what we do understand is the subtle differences and challenges faced. As such a male-dominated pastime, but with a healthy increase in female riders, we know that relevant information is not so easily accessible. For example, riding clothing sizes can be difficult to judge, as much as it may be for for a new rider to understand the differences needed when it comes to seat heights. On top of this, we’re going to run some initiatives to make the world of motorcycling and Suzuki specifically to feel as inclusive as possible.”
Keep an eye out for the regular blogs from a handful of female motorcyclists who will be reporting on everything from clothing and learning to ride, right throught to reporting from the BSB paddock.
