Suzuki Contingency Model year?

I'm looking to purchase an 05 GSXR. According to Suzuki as of now contingency is for 04-05 so is it safe to assume that next year 2006 is 05-06 and in 2007 is 06-07??

So if you buy a bike as soon as its released in March/April its only really good for 1.5 years of contingency?? Assuming you are able to get parts for a "new" model.

 

well since most contingency races don't start until March, except Daytona, it'd still be two years. last year the 05 SV came out before the GNF, and some raced it there. so they could come out early enough for you to get it prepped and not miss any cont. races.

 

So long as there are parts availble for a new model. For instace are'nt some racers still having trouble getting parts for the new 1000? Was'nt body work an issue early on?

Thanks.

 

Any one have some more feedback?

Thanks.

 

Anyone know anything on this yet? I am actually wondering about the SVs though. It says 03-05 right now, so if I get an 06 it should be good for 3yrs I am taking it as long as the program does not change?

Thanks

PS Breeden wont win the NC LWTSS in 2006 if I can help it , even if I come back on the old '99.

 

Man! Morgan told us at the GNF, 2 years, that's it. 2005/2006
Including SVs

 

that's exactly what i thought. 05-06 only. even though the 04 600-750 is the same as the 05. morgan said at the gnf suzuki was only paying for the present year and one year back. 05-06.

 

I can see the thinking with the 600 and up but with the SV it makes no sense to me. They don't pay enough (I do think it is great that they do pay) tocover the cost ofanew bike and on top of that they are going into the 4th year of the same design.

 

Sales of new bikes Brian.

 

Which is why I said it makes sense on the big bikes but not SV's.

 

It's possible to make $20k racing a SV.

 

Not if you only race sprints.

 

Before or after expenses?

 

I said possible, after expenses.

 

I agree Sparky, the only thing that I said it doesn't make sense. I never said that suzuki sucked or they were screwing anybody because of what they pay.

And BTW I knew what they would pay and because it didn't make sense I bought something else........so

 

Well, considering he'll be on a GSXR1k...you can probably protest him

Then again, Im not 100% sure what he's doing with his SV.

 

If that's the case, how come former 600 riders have entered the LW field.
A rider making no $$ in MW or HW can come run in LW and clean house.
