Think some manufacturers roll out next year's line-up in late summer in the U.S. ... usually not 'til Jan./Feb. here in Kanuckistan ...

I don't know Suzuki's plans, but with the ever-increasing standards for exhaust emission control I suspect the S40's days are numbered. I doubt they'll put the effort into it required to fuel inject it, and I doubt carburetors can be made "clean" enough. It is also too easy (from the point of view of the EPA) to tamper with carburetors.

A recent article on Kawasaki's revamp of their 250 Ninja says only the US models are carbureted, the overseas models being fuel injected at an additional cost of about $500. If that price increase for fuel injection is accurate I think it spells the end for lots of lower-priced motorcycles.

Remember what happened to two-stroke motorcycles? They weren't made illegal as such, but it was impossible for them to meet emission requirements. That is happening with outboard motors, string trimmers, snowmobiles, and the list goes on.

they have some 2009's on thier media site.
