Two Stroke Motocross.com Forum

Hey I been thinking about why Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki still producing 2 strokes but refuse to update them. Are they just running the left over stock out? Did they really produce that many 2 stroke bikes/parts in 08 that they still have left overs even to 2011? Or do they have extra machines and know how to make them so efficiently, so they r just producing the same models over and over to make a little extra dough w/ no really labor needed?

It just got me really thinking for simple stuff like.... why Suzuki doesn't just throw on the RMZ wave rotors on the RM's. R they still producing the plain rotors or just a lot left over?

I made this in MS paint:

To me it would be so easy for Suzuki to produce this RM and sell it w/ little to no effort. All they need to do is make a new subframe/airbox, update the suspension, a little motor update, and the rest will bolt straight up from the RMZ's. Like..

-Brakes/Rotor's
-Fenders
-Number plates
-Graphics
-Seat
-Controls
-Foot pegs
-And any other non motor/frame updates they have

A boy can only dream....
