[QUOTE="TurtleShifter, post: 144075, member: 217"] [i][/i]Yes, Marketing 101. You are right but taking it to a different level than I was. I'm just staying on the level of the bike mfg's pouring money into winning races and then seeing that translate into sales. It is definitely NOT working for Suzuki. I see almost 0 Suzukis when I go riding. I said almost, so back off the, but I saw..... Go to the desert, track or anywhere else (except a dual sport ride :-) ) and the majority of bikes will be Honda's. Most of my friends who race D37 are all on 450X's with a few on R's. IMO, if the Japanese mfg. we're to build a dual sport bike like the 450X or WR, but with a plate, the KTM dual sports sales would go by the way of the cabbage patch dolls. The cabbage patch what? Exactly! :lol: And I have a silver Camry and a Bounder MH. Both good "bang for your buck" vehicles. Not sexy, that is all me :banana: And, lighten up Francis :P [/QUOTE]
