History of Suzuki -Racing
GP - Superbike - Endurance
Netherlands (Part one)


Bikes, Wil Hartog, Jack Middelburg and Boet van Dulmen at international reunion 2005

The Netherlands has only one specific motorcycle circuit. It ly`s in the Northern
part of Holland and better known as The Asser circuit. If in 1925 not the Asser motorcycle club were, that a parcours had put between the fields,
then probably TT-circuit had never been. A lot urly riders have faced
the clinker-ways and unpaved roads before it became a suitable circuit.
In 1955 the meanwhile new built circuit in use was taken.
In the years which followed, the popularity of the motorcycle sport became
larger and larger. All passed and present riders of the Dutch motorcycle history,
has grown up here.
