justin_o_guy2 Serious Thumper Offline What happened? Posts: 55279 East Texas, 1/2 dallas/la.	Re: Suzuki Psychology Reply #3 - 05/24/16 at 09:13:43 Kinda looks like I'm too little to even consider. I don't know why they even continue to make it. It's a rare mechanic who knows squat about it, low production numbers, aftermarket goodies are pretty sparse. I suspect they make bupkis selling one.

The price goes up and up every year while the only thing that changes is the color. Someone posted an ad from around '86 a few weeks ago. I think the price was around $2699 if I remember right. It's around 7 grand these days.

this
the dollar is down, but not down that much, and 0 R&D goes into one, they just change paint jobs
it's pretty simple, keep raising the price, if they keep paying it, mo money, if they say 'too much for a bike that small, they buy a bigger one, mo money
