Well I guess I am a self centered Zuki rider then, even tho every darn race I race in I get whopped by a Yamaha, thats right a yamaha, thank you yamaha, for making such a good bike, the 450 is great, oh wait, I would like to thank Honda as well, tho I have not been beaten by a 450R I still want to thank Honda for making such a great bike, Tho I have not won 1 single race, I would like to thank suzuki, for making a bike that you can mod the heck out of and make competable against any of the bikes out there. WITH OUT SUZUKI, HONDA, KAWASAKI, YAMAHA, this sport does not grow as fast as it has in the last 2+ years. I cant wait for the new Z to come out, they have had 2 years of R&D to make this bike, so hopefully its not going to be a dissapointment, Yes Gust is my favorite racer, but you know what I rooted for Natalie this year, this man is amazing, and plus he is an honorary STQRA racer. Most of the protest you have seen this year has come from the management of suzuki, not gust, not jones, but management. Well quad racing is like any other sport when you start dumping loads of money and advertising into your team you want results plain and simple. I do not agree with all the protest that came about this year, but you didnt hear gust complaining all year last year when he was getting protested every other race becaue HONDA and Yamaha couldnt beat him. If all we want to do is complain about protest and sponsered rides, then lets set this sport back 4 years and go back to riding nothing but 250r and 400ex and call it good. I dont know about you but I am enjoying seeing the manafactures coming out with better bikes year after year. Now that the new z is coming out you can bet that honda will be back at the drawing board for their 07 bike. Yamaha did the same this year revamping the frame and some engine componets. I WANT TO THANK ALL THE SPONSERS OF RACING, MOTOCROSSING, FLAT TRACKING, and any other Type of quad racing that you may partake in. THank you Honda, Thank you suzuki, thank you yamaha
