[QUOTE="TurtleShifter, post: 144088, member: 217"] Ugh....what I am talking about is when I go RIDING. I don't give a shit who races in the Beg/Nov/Vet/Women/Exp w/dog on his lap (John McCown and Kookie for those not old enough to have seen him in the D37 races) et.all. I am just talking about people who go out riding. Maybe I am wrong, so be it. I just don't think the manufactures are marketing to the racers out there. Like the previous poster mentioned, the target market is the "family". Maybe they race. But I really dont' think the majority do. So that would mean the majority of the consumer dollars are spent on the recreational riding. At least in the Western part of the US. So go to your recreationalk riding spots and look around. It's called over analyzing things and WAY too much effort. I just ride. I go out to the desert and ride. I look around. Hey, look, there are a shit load of Honda's out here. Not a single Kawi. Hmmm, not a single Suzuki. Quit a few Yamaha's. A LOT of KTM's. You think that is because of all the European winners? Or Dungey has that many fans? Again, I am just making a casual observation of the bikes of choice at the riding spots I ride at. That is it. Not too many Husabergs cause their pricks get all tingley cause they bought something "exotic":noidea: [/QUOTE]
