But if you paid more than 2500 less new, as in the OPs ads, it is still a net savings, even factoring in resale.
It's been getting progressively worse over rhe years, now with the massive rebates, you really take a bath, and you just don't get calls.

The prize? The thread gets moved here.
Thanks, Guy. With Suzuki pulling their support in Europe, a 250F that hasn’t seen an update in 5 years and brand new 450’s being sold 1100.00 cheaper than every other brands 250F, I thought it was a legitimate question.

I thought the Petition to Remove Jeff Emig was a lot dumber if we're taking votes...

As a company, Suzuki is a lot larger than the handful of models that you’re interested in.

Just an FYI, the company as a whole are struggling. Their car manufacturering dug them a very deep hole, so if they had to shut any portion of the company down, it would be the motorcycle side of the company. Those aren’t my words, those are from Wall Street.

The intial thread topic was comparing the totallity of Suzuki, against a few models. Which obviously is apples to oranges when comparing the success of an incredibly small fraction of what makes up the Suzuki umbrella. Furthermore, those are a fraction of a fraction (Suzuki North America) even further, in relation to the Suzuki umbrella. Suzuki North America has no doubt had their issues with cars, etc. But, their global company success differs from their small divison in North America.

Source?

Because this one says SMC has had a 5-year increase in revenue, gross profit, income before taxes, net income from continuing operations, net income, earnings per share and EBITDA.

While I agree that the motorcycle business may be the smallest division in the company, I don't think SMC is looking to shut down anything.
