Suter founded a company named
Suter Racing Technology (
SRT) in 1996, which specialized in project engineering applied to
motorcycle racing. Suter developed, in cooperation with
Swissauto, the
Muz 500 bike, in particular the chassis design and concept for the
1999 season, after the
MuZ team decided to cease using the ROC frame. SRT was responsible for the design and development of the
Petronas FP1 900cc three-cylinder engine; the bike competed in the
Superbike World Championship from
2002 to
2005. The company also helped with the development of
Kawasaki ZX-RR MotoGP between 2004 and 2006. In
2006 and
2007, SRT was involved with
Ilmor Engineering in the chassis design of the 800cc
Ilmor X3 motorcycle. In
2010, with the introduction of the new 600cc Moto2 class, Suter Racing Technology started providing its chassis to the category. Suter won the Manufacturers' Championship in 2010 and
2011, but none of its riders claimed the title. In
2012, Suter claimed its third consecutive Manufacturers' Championship and claimed its first rider's championship when
Marc Márquez became the Moto2 world champion. SRT also built a
MotoGP prototype machine for the
2012 season; the bike, powered by 1000cc
BMW S1000RR engines, was tested from late 2010 and during 2011 by
Marc VDS Racing Team. The bike competed in the top class with a
Claiming Rule Team,
Forward Racing.
