    FastByKids Tire Warmers What?

    Dang it, not again.

    TBH I can't name ONE product Suzuki makes that I would purchase or race.

    They are probably burning through money to keep up with Dorna demands.

    WTH?! Guess we're about to find out what Rins and Mir are really made of. Win it or bin it.

    Sign of the times. There maybe more dominos.

    I hope that Fabio already has an offer in writing from Yamaha with the numbers written in ink because leverage is dwindling fast. Ducati has already said they're full.

    We all knew it was coming but I figured a few more years but it makes senses to pull the plug at the end of this season.

    oh well.

    Whatever happened to the Kawazuki collaboration? KHI has significantly deeper pockets than Suzuki does.

    It died almost immediately. Lasted maybe a year.

    Didn’t Suzuki just sign a 5 year deal to race motogp with Dorna?
    If they do bail it’s gonna cost them big $$$$

    Wonder what if any impact this has towards their other racing programs.
     
  14. BigBird

    BigBird blah

    It isn't going to cost suzuki anything...because they broke.
    Dorna, yes

    This totally sucks. Rins part sales didn't help. But WOW...

    If that really made a difference to the outcome, DORNA would cover that before they would let Suzuki bail.

    That nothing new, For 40 years, Suzuki dabbles in GP racing, prices it can win a world title. Then pulls out of competition.
    Theve nothing to prove...only that they can beat the world's largest car/motorcycle companies.....if they want to.
    VW/Audi Yamaha and Honda.

    Yep, the Underdogs they got nothing to prove.

    Their streetbikes are pure legends, ingrained in every persons minds .
    Think GSXR, Gamma, Katana, Hyabusa,SV etc..

    And why watch Moto GP without Rossi? or even Schwantz.. don't get me started on the Grand Prix 2-stroke machines... The racing is kind of sucked since the year 2000 there's only one reason it survived and grew , we all know who that was.

    We ain't missing nuthin, just tamed, watered down digitally influenced racing.
    It's no longer hold your breath
    exciting , like it used to be...

    I watch old races on DVD....suits me fine...

    That completely blows. Was really hoping they would go the other way and put a couple more bikes on the grid.

    Fabio is literally the the best rider in MotoGP, Ducati would make room. As would all other manufacturers, if he becomes available.
