its all about how much money and resources the company is willing to through at it. the kawasaki and suzuki bikes are bikes that are only maybe 75% complete. the suzuki is making progress, but they need a new lead rider cause kenny roberts jr. is done. the same goes for kawasaki, they need a new lead rider cause mccoy is done. anytime you start blamming your finishs on a bike that is worth a million, unless it is like "it droped a cyclinder" or that something broke, you need to smacked. if you look at honda and ducati; they come out the box and just kick ass. why? because they choose to poor a shitload of money and effort into the bike. (btw i'll bet anyone in here that the next evolution of ducati superbike is a V4). yamaha started out kinda were suzuki is now, but they got there stuff together and now they awesome bikes to. i hope that kawasaki and suzuki get their stuff together, i'd really like to see the bikes more on a leval playing field. one thing i'm interested in is how well that V5 proton engine is going to do, should be interesting.
that is my view on it. if you put the best rider(s) on the best bike(s), it's just going to magnify how good the bike is.
