they got fast stock gixxers in the states, just tunes .. record breaking fast, Suzuki prolly want do anything regarding racing until racing changes, rules stop favoring other configurations so forth, who the riders are is no longer bias, you don't think Suzuki can see whats going on when they pretty much created road racing as it is today?
they see it all, they are right where they think they need to be... with emissions agencies on their heels and racing series favoring everyone else why should they waste money, they still sell plenty of motorcycles, they built the first sportbike they'll build the last no doubt in my mind, i'd do the exact same thing Suzuki is doing,
Suzuki not being in road racing hurts road racing in a huge way, considering most riders at least 50% are pro Suzuki and very loyal and dedicated, this shows in the grandstands at races, unless you just happen to be in Spain in a series dominated by Spanish riders.. and what Suzuki can't see this bias? look at all your other racing, LSR and quarter mile, still dominated by Suzuki .. they just dominated road racing for 10 years and are still winning in the states, where their bikes are LEGAL . . suzuki has a clue, it just has to happen is all..
