Absolutly right FalcoPerigri Suzuki are resting on their laurals just as the British did back in the late sixties...the saying back then was 'jap crap' and the manufacturers opinion was nothing could topple the mighty singles and twins. Less than a decade later they shut the original triumph factory for good. The funniest thing I heard about was the manager of Norton saying 'the british motorcyclist likes nothing better than pulling the bikes head off on a Sunday morning to grind the valves in'.... a jap 250 could run rings around everything but the very biggest pommy thumper no wonder they went bust.
Smoke me a kipper I'll be home in time for breakfast
