    Suzuki also made a good bike when McGrath switched over and look what happened to him.

    Maybe RC will pull it off but I just can't see him on a canary yellow bike - no offense to my fellow zuki lovers

    well first of all i think he mad a huge mistake, secondly the rm250 did win for transworld but for dirtrider the yz250 but in both mags the crf450 won and thats what he has been racing this year. the other thing that made me mad was he switched to 4 strokes. i hate the racing 4 strokers, the only reason their becoming so popular is cause 2 strokes polute more but there arnt enough 2 strokes to really mess up the ozone. plus i think its kinda like cheating having a 200cc difference in the 250 class and 125cc difference in the 125 class. but dont fear i think k-dub will blow everyone away next year cause he just is getting better and better every year and since su-suck-ie just sucks and all hell have no really competition exept for reed and maybe bubba. it just really upsets me cause he was like the racing idol and now he switched so hes not in it for the fun like i am hes in it for the money and thats not a true racer

    i thought Honda dumped RC that was the story i heard anyway. RC can win on any of the bikes in that class. Skill matters more than anything

    yea itll be more competitive now that hes onn a P.O.S. suzuki, i think he shoulda stayed with kawasaki only if he wanted to ride on a 2 stroke bike tho, He shoulda stayed with honda for a 450 if he wants to win, stewart said he was movin up to 250/450 this year,

    suzukis are great bikes. they're no lower quality than the rest of the market. you guys really need to look past the color.

    Pastrana is still on the Suzuki team as far as I know, between him, Ricky Carmichael, and Rodger DeCoster....It'll be one helluva show.

    Windham is an amazing rider and was a trend setter being one of the first guys to race the CRF450R. He's definetly one of my favorite riders and I know he's capable of taking on RC.

    i see you dont own a suzuki trike so i dont know how you can say they suck. they were probly perfectly fine for what they're intended for. theyre choice to drop trike production was a business decision they were looking into the future of the market and preparing for it.
