What does an aluminum frame or EFI have to do with winning races? Winning is about training, conditioning and dedication. Not what bike you ride. Everyone assumes Pro riders don't get tired. Believe me, you think Joe Byrd, Doug Gust or Natalie are out of shape. Think again, that's why their winning - because they bust their butts all year long.

the suzuki has its own class pretty much. obviously they dominate the stock class they are way more set up stock for mx than any other quad it isn't even close

its clearly an mx bike stock, while the yfz and trx are not. take it into the woods and you will have completely different results.

different strokes for different folks

Give me a Cannondale Moto any day over the new Zuki...... NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! If Cannondale was still in business, they would be ruling the offroad racing scene....

The Prototype Moto would have blown people away with the all the technology and performance. Nothing "factory" would have been close.....

But greed, poor management and overspending employees ruined the company.

Agreed.....I'm still riding and racing my Cannondale all the time. I will ride them till the bitter end....thats if there is an end. I know about a few things that will open up the door for Cannondales to dominate:D

Yeah, that makes lots of sence. They have had their bikes out for 3 years. They should be fine tuned and dialed in by now. This is the first year for the suzuki, so I'd say they did pretty damn good for a first shot.

Yes, but they didn't know what would work and what wouldn't. Yamaha and Honda have had them out in production and have had many many people out on them pounding on them. They know whats going to happen. Suzuki has only had theirs out for about a month. They did test it, but they didnt put it through 3 seasons of motocross, cross-country, or baja.

please, it handles just as well as everyone elses, it just takes a different type of riding. its a heck of alot more comfortable than the other 450's

There still doing something.

They're not assembling new quads, they're just revamping the complete ones they got from the Cannondale factory. Updating them, rebadging them, etc.

Not sure if Frank White will ever get off his *** and get some seriously good stuff done or not. But I do know a few people "on the inside" you might say, that know of a few things that may happen.
