yea big red ur right, they did repair the problem before they released the new bikes- that is why they are not out yet- i plan on getting one- i read the exact same article u r talking about- i have read other articles, and all them are pretty pleased about the bike- MXA made it sound like the honda was the best bike ever and that the other ones were no where near the honda- i dont really believe that- the problems they had with the suzuki did not seem to be a big deal to me- i think a pipe would fix most of the motor problems they discussed- the other mags didnt kill the bike like MXA did- the others seemed to think the bike was OK, and seemed to be satisified with it
