\"\"A brief glance around any motorcycle racing paddock will tell you all you need to know about the number of women racing in the field. In short, there aren’t many. Thankfully, things are changing, especially when racers like 16-year-old Elena Myers proved that they can do more than just keep up on the track with their male counterparts.<\/p>\n

In case you missed the news, young Elena just became the first female to win an AMA Supersport Class race, and she did so aboard her No. 21 Lucas Oil Roadracingworld.com RMR Suzuki GSX-R600. Suffice it to say that Suzuki is rather proud of Elena’s achievement, and the Japanese company has gone so far as to celebrate the landmark victory by changing its Suzukicycles.com<\/a> homepage to pink in her honor.<\/p>\n

Naturally, we wish Elena all the success in the world. But seriously… pink? We see exactly zero<\/em> pink on any of her motorcycle or riding gear, but if that’s the Way Suzuki wants to celebrate… <\/p>\n
