Why does the euro series run 125 now that only 3 manufacturers make them?

Why does Suzuki make a 125 for this class but don't offer it for sale?

Does Kawasaki and Honda do a 125 2 stroke as well?

I think its great that they still run the 125 class.

Considering suzuki,honda and kawasaki stopped making and selling 2 stroke 125's in 2007 or 2008 to the public.

I was wondering whether they are still 2008 or 2007 model bikes that were leftover or team's bought for the euro 2 stroke classes and maybe they just reuse the bikes each year. (obviously they would completely rebuild the bikes each year if they do.)

However thats just a guess...

Why not? Offers good racing every round.

There is mx300 2-t series also with 10 riders at gate.. only KTM and TM makes them.
There is Honda 150 series also where Honda gives bikes out to race. Cant see those
lasting long.

I doubt they rebuild the bikes every year. More often I'm sure.

If the series takes off, other manufactures will end up joining the party. It may not be Honda, Suzuki, or Kawasaki, but others will certainly fill in the void.

If it really took off worldwide, you can be assured that everyone would want in on the action.

Yeah i mean replacing the actual bike parts, (subframes, air boxes etc) Things you wouldn't normally replace…

They would rebuild the motors and strip down the bikes after every event for sure… well the factory supported riders would..
