How many guys line up every weekend for GNCC or in Europe Enduro for one single event 1500+ ?!
they all need bikes, parts, gear etc... The knobby family is bigger than MX & SX alone but,
they all like to watch MX & SX right?! same for the trial, supermoto, roadrace fans etc. motocross will never die. However, how to "persuade" street bike owners to buy a dirt bike, that's the question

So Everts is trying to run a private Suzuki team with Seewer and Jasikonis for next season
God damn this is a bummer!
Suzuki's action of retracting their race efforts speaks louder than words. Their efforts have reached a point of loss that they are no longer willing to accept. To that, people argued that Suzuki should bring back two strokes. I argued it is a huge money loss risk, Suzuki's action's of killing them and not resurrecting them thinks so too. Apparently, they think the same thing about the current products and market that they are pulling out of, let alone bring back part of an old one. Suzuki is good at making money and cutting the areas they dont make money.
It would be one thing if MX was unique in its decline, but its not. Motorsports, and sports in general (to some degree), are having issues. If it doesn't involve a cell phone, then its having problems. Sad to see.

A question to the non-US members here, do you and your fellow moto friends watch US SX and MX as much as possible? If yes, then this may be a reason why Suzuki executives don't feel the need to double dip with a full race team in MXGP if they can get their brand in front of your eyes with only the JGR investment. Granted there will be some bad PR initially, but it may end up working out in their favor.
The numbers in that chart posted above are yearly, not quarterly totals (it says 03 because their fiscal year ends in March). They are also in Japanese Yen.
One thing you will see in the report is that North American motorcycle sales are a tiny sliver, even less compared to motorcycle sales in Japan, Asia and Europe.
Do you guys even watch these races?
-Millions and millions spent for nonsense overseas races.
-No rider salaries
-Almost no motocross on tv due to the ridiculous cost of tv rights
-Virtually no high-dollar outside sponsors
-Almost no satellite teams (and the ones that do exist don't do the overseas races so they play no role in the actual championship)
-No privateers, and thus no incentive for dozens of them to try and go pro, removing the possibility of bringing in new people and new sponsors.
-Ridiculous cost of organzing a GP. The reason why we are seeing a retarded beach race at Assen instead of a real race at one of the many legendary tracks in The Netherlands.
Should I go on?
Please enlighten me exactly how a company like Suzuki could benefit from pumping millions into this circus with all of that nonsense going on?
The OEMS need to get together and talk about what they need even if it means doing there own series and pissing off youthstream. F1 have had the OEM's threaten to boycott Bernies circus and do there own series for years and look what they get something in there favour every year.
These riders ride so much I'd love to know what the budget is for practicing alone.
I was watching the "coverage" and wondering about that myself. It looked alot like a Daytona type set-up. I assumed it was a spread of the dreaded Daytona-is-the-center-of-the-Universe disease.
