The global economy makes the choices for them. Who is hurting worse will have to make appropriate steps.
I think companies have to look at the sales and decide. Honda dealers always have new 2 yr old bikes on the showroom, Suzuki didnt import cause of slow sales, , Who knows what gambles they will take while they cant get bikes finaced....

I dropped by the local Suzuki dealership the other day and they're being told that there's only going to be a "limited number" of new motorcycles imported for the upcoming model year and that for a lot of models like the V-Strom the '09 is still to be considered the "current" model (which is why my most recent attempt to obtain a new one at a decent price fell through).

I don't see Kawi updating anything. They had to slash prices just to get rid of the 09s. Until the economy rebounds, I don't expect to see much in the way of updated models

It's not just about total mass.........it's reciprocating mass as well. The crank, pistons, rods, cams, and transmission gears. If the sum of those parts is greater in Bike X than it is in Bike Y, you're going to feel it. Objects in motion resist change in motion.
