RBoM Racing’s Curtis Murray, from Ellenboro, NC, and his 2018-model Suzuki SV650 have caught the attention of Robem Engineering and a support deal has been struck to help Murray make the MotoAmerica west coast swing.

Murray currently sits 2nd in the 2019 Twins Cup points standings, just 5 points behind defending champion and fellow RBoM-powered SV650 competitor Chris Parrish.

“I wanted to chase the MotoAmerica Twins Cup championship this year” Murray said “but we all know that it’s pretty difficult to win the championship without going to all the races. Don’t get me wrong, the Suzuki contingency money is awesome, as is the MotoAmerica purse money, but this is the best opportunity I’ve ever had. Robem Engineering has been making us some trick parts this year and I was blown away when they stepped up to help make the rest of the season happen”

RBoM Racing team principal Russell Masecar adds “the logistics of competing in every race on the MotoAmerica schedule is probably the biggest hurdle for any competitor in the paddock, and the RBoM riders are in the same boat. Our original plan was to just do the east coast rounds, like last year, and cherry-pick the Suzuki contingency money. Matt Spicer of Robem Engineering didn’t like that idea and wanted to get involved. RBoM rider Chris Bays has already signed up for the season and now Curtis Murray will join him on the grid as the series heads west.”

Robem Engineering is a custom CNC machine shop based in Hamilton, Ohio. The company specializes in making billet-aluminum race parts for Suzuki SV650’s and Yamaha FZ/MT07’s. The MotoAmerica Twins Cup class is the perfect proving ground for Robem engineered parts and their research and development will benefit professionals and club-racers alike.
Curtis Murray’s RBoM Racing SV650 is also supported by Yoshimura R&D, Millennium Technologies, Copoulos Built engine services, Woodcraft Technologies, Baseline Motorsports, Powersports Supply, and Huff Oil Group supplying Amsoil products.
