So ...Dorna is threatening to exclude them from something they don't want to be apart of anyway?

What Suzuki sells total in the US and Europe doesn’t even account for 5% of their sales in Asia. (Motorcycles)

But at the end of the day they don’t care about Mx bikes. Why change it if there isn’t a reason. They sell every unit they make. They haven’t had to do one thing different to the bike and it just keeps producing. At this point the cost of these bikes is zero and they are making huge profits.
And honestly there hasn’t been any monumental changes to MX bikes in the last 20yrs.
Suzuki only cares about Asian markets. That’s their cash cow. MX is just a a side hustle. But hey! You can get a decent bike with a reasonable price tag

Maybe done with New and in with Old! I mean everything used to be better back in the past anyway.But the title says Suzuki is done
And if we really want to do the math… JS7. KR94. RD5 and RC4 have all won on that same bike… hard to argue it doesn’t work.
Again why change the formula if it produces. R&D from 12yrs ago is still working. No additional testing or costs or labor. Just “I need 100k more of the same bike”. No additional math or design or people dedicated to making marginal changes. Just collect that check!

The real reason people are bothered by Suzuki's lack of updates to the MX bikes is......EGO.
Some of the most vocal people regarding the lack of updates are those who don't ride them, and never would regardless of what updates they make.
We all like to think how important we are with our little sport of riding/racing dirt bikes around a closed course. It is a blow to our inflated egos to see a company like Suzuki be like "ehh...you get this...."
"How dare Suzuki not cater to us!"
"How could Suzuki not care how important we are and our $9k purchase!"
Is it a good bike still? Yes. Does it stroke our egos making us feel important? No.
Do I still love Suzuki? Yes. Will I be buying one? No!
I'm happy with my ego-stroking orange/white/red bikes now thanks!
