I’d put 40th place rider in the Nationals right now on a bone stock Suzuki against the best rider at your local track on any brand you choose with as many mods he can put on the bike and he still would get lapped. That’s a fact!
The Shop
Again, there is no way for you to prove that any rider would do as well on a Zook compared to their current ride. It is just not possible to know. Bikes matter, look at Webb on KTM vs Yamaha. It is not as big of a factor for some riders and others it plays a huge role.
I think the 450 Zook is plenty capable in the hands of any pro. I believe the 250 is at a slight disadvantage.
On that horrible POS BFRC shock.......? Sarcasm inserted.
To the point of this thread, I will reiterate what I commented previously. If Suzuki could lock down a top marketable guy, shave a little weight, add an electric start, and keep pricing competitive to where it is now, I truly believe we would see more yellow at our local tracks.
If anything we do know it’s both man and machine at work, both need to work to be on top of the box.
Someone earlier mentioned Webb, but that’s not a clear cut case of bike issues because he changed his entire program.
@Racer111 I guess I am an idiot because I have a differing opinion....Way to show your 12 year old mentality. You cannot prove your theory, so you name call and post your own personal opinions as fact....you really showed the internet bro.
And the shootouts are for what the bikes are like delivered to the showroom. Watch the Racer X garage build Pingree does on the 2018 and 2019 RMZ450. Just add a piston and exhaust and it has MORE horsepower than you can handle. That’s 1,000.00 and I paid 5899.00 for my brand new 2018 last year. So I’m roughly 7,000.00 in for a brand new 450 that will run with anything and turns better than the other 5 brands. So, yeah. I called you an idiot. What you’re stating isn’t an opinion, it’s straight up false.

If Tomac was on a Suzuki, he’d still be winning the 450 Nationals right now. At this level, it’s 70% talent, 15% mental and 15% bike. Look at Chad, look at James, look at Ferry, look at MC. It didn’t matter what brand they were on. They still owned the track.
However, millennials are the target demographic (anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 23 to 38 in 2019)). So if we're as lazy as you say we are, they might want to appeal to us by adding an estart like the rest of the pack.
Your OPINION is that Suzuki’s turn better than the other brands. It is not a fact. In my OPINION the Honda’s KTM/Husky’s turn better than the yellow bikes. Have not ridden a new Kawasaki yet.
Maybe your mind will realize that your opinions are not facts. But I am beginning to realize that your IQ is below average for this site...which puts you wayyyyy down the list compared to normal people.
Pit Row
I am not going to get in the debate of which handles best but I have improved my lap times and results on the RMZ coming from a Kawi. I still get a decent amount of holeshots on the RMZ with a stock motor and full yosh. We all have learned to ride differently and each bike will in one way or another for the better, suit your style of riding.
The BFRC shock is similar to that of the air forks, great technology but not really suited for MX/SX because it comes from road racing, I am ok with it except in rollers where a faster rebound (high speed setting option) is needed.
The skeptic in me wonders if the magazine tests are all biased, based on who is giving away what? (I can't be the only one who thinks this??)
As Suzuki aren't investing in riders, teams, the sport, likely they en to investing in magazines either = bottom of the tree when it comes to bike tests... It HAS to happen, doesn't it??
