[QUOTE="IrishEKU, post: 419646, member: 30393"] I also want to add to Pat's post, Honda also has a car division that uses alotttttttt of aluminum. I am betting all of the waste from the car industry is making it's way to the frames of the bikes. I'm not saying that the frames are bad, it's just that from the Honda, Acura, and what everelse they have their hands in they have the base to produce their perimeter frames from. Suzuki is in the car market too but at a much more limited scale. Kawie is a huge company like Mitsubishi that produces cranes, ships and who knows what else. So I don't think they will be going under anytime soon, besides they just started a whole new product line with Suzuki with the KLR/X's. I think all of them will be around for some time. It's just that Honda is the only one that can use Aluminum frames in their dirt bikes with any cost effectiveness due to their automotive line. My .02 Phillip [/QUOTE]
