The 2009 British Superstock Championship title has gone to Alastair Seeley and his Suzuki GSX-R1000.

Atop the bike, Seeley won every race he entered, marking a run of nine straight wins to take the championship recently at Cadwell Park.

The rider has taken the title despite there being three races still to complete.

"It's been a great year so far and I just couldn't fault the effort of the team or the 2009 GSX-R1000," he commented.

The rider went on to say that while the bike had been performing extremely well and always seemed reliable, he did not expect to take the win at Cadwell Park.

A new version of his bike was launched earlier this year to ensure more power from a more compact chassis.

The model was enhanced to offer a longer swing-arm for improved agility, a shorter wheelbase and a drive mode selector to allow the rider to choose between three different power levels.

As well as achieving his clean sweep, Seeley managed to notch up six fastest laps and four circuit lap records during this year's championship.

Suzuki recently announced that all its supported riders would be taking part in this year's Motocross of Nations race next month.
