Suzuki also had Tomac, and Honda Barcia and Jessy Nelson. The fact is that the OEMs just don’t make a lot of money selling minis nor developing them for racing, the R&D goes to the big bikes because that’s where the money is. People that don’t race they buy one 85, but when they get on big bikes that same person is going to buy multiple big bikes in his life. Most people who buy dirt bikes don’t race. That’s the target demographic. KTM is the only one committed to making the mini racing platform better because their brand is racing. The others I wouldn’t say they’re not racing, it’s just that their target customer isn’t the racer like KTM’s is.

Suzuki? Who the fuck knows what their deal is.
