Meh. They make too much money here NOT to race. Hell they cant make a competitive GP bike, might as well stick to production bikes!

Kind of like the rumors that were flying around in late 2006 about Pride Fighting being bought by the UFC. At the weigh ins /press conference, PrideFC denied it to the fighters faces. That was the last Pride Fight in Japan. UFC bought it.

Perfect. Now we need Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki to all follow suit, showing the fucktards at NASCAR/AMA that they have in fact ruined the series before it even starts, so much so that the factory teams will refuse to race. Bravo!

Good for them, pulling a Ducati-type protest.
Somebody's got to stand up for the fans, since they wont do anything but bitch on bike forums.

But man they sure are great at making a nearly competitive MotoGP bike. They just need another Kevin Schwantz to make their bike seem like it might be halfway decent.

They could get a new slogan, "Suzuki, not as shitty as Kawasaki"
