Everts, Townley, Carmichael, Roczen, Stewart, Desalle, Strijbos, Waters, Grant, Coldenhoff. Imagine if they got Reed over at RCH. There would be others I've not listed also I'm sure.
Suzuki is definitely making a push.
Hope the return on investment works out

The same list could be done with basically all the other manufacturers also.

Let's hope the rumor of an all new 2017 rmz450 is true. It will need to be at least 10 lbs ligher, if not more.

Misleading title. You seem to be forgetting dungey, musquin, JMart, Webb, Cianciarillo, and the list goes on

I hate to say it but Albertson is going to have his hands full in the 250 class That is a intense class

Tyler is going to love this thread!

They do have some big names. Hoping for good things this year and bigger things next year. Just happy to have a 250 team out there too! Could be very expensive to keep Roczen on yellow depending on his season.

If they gave the 2017 a bigger front disc and new shrouds it would please 75% of reviewers.

You are right, but I was just trying to be nice so I didn't get flamed as a suzuki hater. (I've had 5 of them!)

big names are not enough, look at febvre, he came out of nowhere.
I don't see townley or js7 win a title. honestly, roczen is their only hope for a title and they were pretty hard on him with all the drama in recent months.

American Suzuki sucks ass! Japan is too conservative and the management here in Brea,Ca sucks and cant get shit done.

The bikes are great , but old looking.

The dealers cant get any support from corporate and it shows

They need management change badly ! Some one with forward thinking like at KTM.

Yeah maybe not ALL the big names, but let's add up the titles in my list versus yours. Suzuki has rolled pretty big here for a company that went bankrupt 15 times the last 2 years

That seems to be the Japanese manufacturers in general. Except for maybe Yamaha who have brought out the main game changing concepts over the years, bar a couple. re BASS, YEIS etc. But it always takes longer to turn around a bigger ship, and if things weren't so screwed up in Japan the last few years, re reactor melt downs, the slow down of the Japanese and world economies, maybe they would sink a few more bucks into it.

ktm have roger ,he is the only one with a name as big as and RC or EVERTS . yamaha dont have anyone like them involved anymore .honda have Bale so id count him that level too. then kawi have MC. i think Suzuki always had a very loyal big name riders who stay with them .more so than other brands bar a few riders . ie, Albee, Pastrana ,Geobers .Ramon ,H Everts ,Roger etc etc ,and i could name loads of euro guys . who stayed most of there life with the one brand . now you add 2 greatest riders ever in the history of the sport s RC,EVERTS and in a few years JS7 probably the most famous MX rider ever . the only other brand i see like this is honda. but still not as many as Suzuki . plus in 10 when Roger is retired . when you think back of him beening a KTM guy or Suzuki guy

the mad thing is it would have been that big of an investement , everts bought the team he get s the bike s but i dont think Suzuki pay him , same goes for RC . then the got JS7 really cheap because he want off the yamaha , he rode the outdoors for free. now after them sticking with james after the drug thing id say his pay is alot lower than youd think . rch are a privite team so they pay KROC not Suzuki id say . the mad mad investment over the last 10 year on riders is KTM imo they bought there early championship and it cost a hell of alot of money .to get AC222 to go off a bike that won the world championship 7 times in 8 years ,to race a pile of crap imo cost alot of money . same goes to get RD5 to ride an unproven bike and prob the 2nd worse bike out there, cost a hell of a lot of money .and i know someone will say they won championships on the bike . well just goes to show it more the rider . look at RD5 now on a bike thats good .he is a different rider .or back to how good he was on the Suzuki .

Speculate much? I'd say there is a whole lot of assumptions in that post.
