Suzuki has confirmed its support for a charity in Kent that is committed to helping young people in the area.
The charity focuses on a range of motorcycle-related works to help engage young people and provide them with essential life skills.
Suzuki has now come out in support of the Motocross Challenge Project, providing a fleet of off-road bikes for the charity.
Bikes provided to the charity include the DR-Z70, the RM85 and both small and big-wheel versions of the DR-Z125.
Richard Gregg from Suzuki GB said the project is a great resource for young people in the region.
"As well as the great work the team do through the charity, they also provide a great resource for young people to come and enjoy motorcycles responsibly, in a controlled and safe environment," he said.
Both individuals and schools utilise the facilities at the site, where anyone aged seven or above can learn to ride.
As well as learning to ride, the project also offers training in areas such as motorcycle mechanics, off-road training and track preparation.
Ric Newton from the charity said he is happy to have gained the backing of a manufacturer such as Suzuki and believes that with the company's support, the work at the site will continue to improve.
Earlier this month, professional Suzuki riders Carl Nunn and Matiss Karro suffered lower-than-hoped-for finishes in the first leg of the 2010 Maxxis British Motocross Championship.
