Randy de Puniet will test for Suzuki on Tuesday afternoon at Valencia.
The 30-year-old Frenchman, who finished 16th in the points for the Pramac Ducati squad this year, has no firm plans for 2012 and has never ridden a grand prix bike for the manufacturer before.
De Puniet has been invited to test in order that a fresh pair of eyes can assess the potential of the GSV-R at the Spanish circuit. Team regular Alvaro Bautista and John Hopkins have raced the bike this year.
