Whats wrong with Suzuki, dont they know that these are dangerous times we live in. I think the LTR should be designed to take mortar, and RPG blasts, and continue on their misson.
If an LTR cant survive an impact with a Flyin Byrd, and his trusty 450R unscathed, then it is junk....Right?
For the first time in a true race tested situation, I think the LTR was did very well.
I cant WAIT to se the Helmet Cam clips !!!:cool:
Blue, you already have a vidoe host or do you need one for your video Coverage??Bring me the mini DV to work tongiht and Ill have them up for you tomorrow :D
What happen to tim farr? I heard he had problems with the kick start?
it sure wont do as bad as the yfz's twenty some DNF's the first , 2nd , and 3rd year in the pro class.

You are an idiot. Ok now that I got that out of the way...suzuki is busting their arse here, do you not think buy running these stock parts on the highest level of atv competition on the face of the earth is saying something in itself? How many stock trx and yfz swingarms and axles there are on the gate? I can count them all on one hand. It's not really so much a matter of whether gust and jones are winning right now, it's what Suzuki is doing for the sport. A factory rig, factory mechanics, TRUE factory quads with those racing them getting paid a true factory salary. Nonetheless, Suzuki trying their *** off to produce something that is going to make this sport a hell of a lot less forgiving on yours and my wallets. Do you think Suzuki is just going to sit back and let broken parts and DNF's happen? Hell no ... they are going to go back to the drawing board and assess the situation and do everything in their power from letting it happen again. Stuff like this is what is going to make this sport progress and fill out to how really popular it is, and is going to be for years to come. They have a lot of time and money invested to win a championship, and they truly give a rat's *** about the consumer. Everything is going to have the bugs worked out of it in it's first go around. Look at the 04 Yamis, all you had to do was look at one and something would break on it, and some our trusty 05 hondas were eating cranks like there was no tomorrow. Hey if you would like to buy a brand new yfz or trx and put anywhere from $3,000-$10,000 into one to make it 'race ready' then more power to ya. For me , i think i'll buy the new zook and practically have all of that for a third of the cost.Quote:

I couldn't of said it better myself!
Ill give it 6 months then decide if its junk or not. I am hoping not becouse then I will buy one. Every brand has good and bad.
All I know is Natalie, Byrd, Little Jones, and Gust were very fast and the race could have gone to any of these guys barring bike problems.
Yes, Jones Suzuki let him down as well as Nat's seat but all those guys were FLYING, no matter what brand they were on.
From what I saw, all of these guys are so close on speed, it could be anybody's championship to take.
DNF's , bike problems, crashes are going to decide this one.
None of the machines looked to have any advantage motor or chassis-wise.
I will say one thing. That stock LTZ exhaust with the restrictor sounds like SH%^$T. In the stock LTX promo race one had the restricter out and it sounded great. The others made you want to plug your ears. VERY unique sound, YUCK!!!
Still working on the video thing.
A little bird tells me a video will be posted very soon...keep your eyez open ya racer punks!
