Bill Syfan
Birth date: Spring of '58
Hometown: Fort Worth, TX
Years in the saddle: 39
With Star: 7
Hobbies: Dirt bikes, home improvements, family time
Favorite motorcycle: 1983 Kawasaki GPz550 (600) Superbike that I rode to 21st in the Daytona 100 Superbike race and lots of club wins. My Honda RS125 was a close second. SVs rule!
Favorite ride: Road America, Texas World Speedway, Thunderhill.
You didn’t know that the Syfanator raced a CB750F in the 30 Hours of Rockingham Endurance race back when bikes had twin shocks!
When Bill was the head of the Suzuki Support Programs, he was the person responsible for hiring Jason at Suzuki. He moved from Suzuki to being Jim Allen’s right hand man at Dunlop, involved both in racing and tire development. He left Dunlop to run the Formula USA National Roadrace Series for Clear Channel Communications. Now the owner of Proforma, a Rider Management and Promotions company, it’s obvious that Bill is in this motorcycle thing for the long haul.

Bill Syfan is the head guy at Proforma, a rider management and promotions company.

Syfan gets it done on his 125GP bike - CMRA @ Hallett 2006.

And stares down the 14 year-old competition.

Is there anyone smoother and faster on a stock SV650?

Back when Endurance racing was the real deal(twin shocks and spokes), Bill did this twice!
