Suzuki hasn't been doing well in North America but,surprisingly, are the top brand in India. Volkswagen just bought a big chunk of Suzuki.

Tell that to Mitch Payton.  :P

Wait until next year and see what team Payton is running  :)
I think Suzuki's biggest problem is they don't know how to name a bike :D.Cruisers,street and quads etc.BK? What the H is that?Burger King?
I think all their names suffer from a poor translation.Oh well,at least they're "Way of Life"  ::)

Ford & Monstery are both correct, All the banshee motor is, is a tuned down non power valve rz350 motor. Banshee stock 38-40hp, rz350 55hp or so. I thought suzuki problems were in the "Engineering a proper tranny department." ;D

I know all about that.
At least they know how to make a bike handle.

I believe they are still making them, however nothing has been touched since 09.

they have a 2011 crf 250x and  450x sitting on floor at my honda dealership.$8,700 & $9,500 :o
If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.

Idk, when ever Honda comes out with something new they usually have problems. Might wait a couple years for the finished product  ;D

If they do, I think we need to have a 2012 Honda CR250r vs 2012 TM250 test  ;)

Direct Injection sounds cool, but I don't know.. I still like the idea of brass and reeds.  I see it as part of the experience of owning a two-stroke - like mixing gas and oil.  I think it would take a lot of fun out having to plug in an overpriced tuner or pull out my laptop.

Now if it was a mechanical DI,.. like old mechanical FI.. then we may be onto something ;)

a 2012 cr250 would prob be the sickest 2 stroke ever made but i still would swtich from my euro made bike back to jap bikes or at least not for now anyways if it comes out i would give it 3 or 4 years before i bought one just to make sure everything on it is good and not slaped together since prob not that many people working at honda factories ever enen remember making a 2 stroke bike

Indeed.
Wait at least 2 or 3 years for them to sort out the bugs.
But it's a great rumour without doubt... :)
