i really dont see the economy being part of it. suzuki has never had a good automobile anyways. if they were not able to sell the junk cars why keep trying. blaming **** on the economy is getting old.

How about a 800cc quad?

they did put a hold in 2010 i believe on their sportbikes where the did not update them and only sold the previous models until they could take them off the showrooms. they also discontinued the quadracer which is still a very popular atv on the mx circuit. their bread and butter are powersports and if they are taking hits there then something is wrong. their sport bikes are awesome and the very competitive and have the most ama superbike wins for a manufacturer. so the economy has something to do with their lower sales. since banks dont give loans out as easy, bc the banks says the economy is bad, then less people buy toys. and the people that the bank will give a loan to have enough money to just flat buy most items. i was hoping they would come out with a new quadracer but i dont think that will be happening anytime soon. 

I love Suzuki sportbikes..........good stuff.

i read the same about the emissions but some of the other 450 sport quads that are on the market havent changed since the ltr was around and are still on the market so not sure why the ltr would have greater emissions problems than the others.
