At the Pro level the amount of bikes you see on the line is a direct result of the amount of involvement the manufacturer wants to have. Suzuki scaled back their involvement after signing RC as it likely ate up a bunch of their resources. Combine this with the fact that the RMZ250 has had it's share of issues and last season was simply outdated waiting for the new frame and you see less Suzuki's. It wasn't long ago you saw very few Honda's in the lites class but now that Honda isn't paying a Superstar a salary they have spread the wealth around to more lites support level teams.

Must be heresy around some parts. :rotfl:76GMC1500 said:I didn't mean to come off as knowing what I was saying. That's just the hearsay around these parts.
kawicam250 said:the '07 RMZ250 is good, but i dont know where your getting that from. the mags knowadays arent very trustworthy since its all about the $$, whoever pays the most, wins. if someone comes out with a shootout im interested, i'll read it, but i dont take it to heart. IMO, MCUSA has the best and most detailed shootouts, but they still have mixed opinions.
