Is Suzuki going to lose riders to Yamaha by making you wait a year for a 450 that may or may not be as good as the YFZ like Honda did?

I'm just glad they're taking the time to make it. Hopefully it will live up to it's expectations.

If it's going to make as big of a splash as the new RMZ450 motocrosser is right now, then it will be well worth the wait. You know it's going to be twice as deadly with Gust onboard.

I think Gust could still get top 5's with the LTZ250...lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I think they want to see/learn from the mistakes that Yamaha and Honda make with their first year vehicles and run with it. Honestly I think they have too much R&D/money in the RMZ450 right now to shell out the extra dough it would cost to have a full blown project for the LTZ450. Let them work out the bugs with the dirtbike, then you'll see it in a quad. But I think we'll just be holding our breath till then....
