At least the erion crew is still running. They usually beat the factory bikes anyway.

Their market share value has dropped evenly with all the others, nothing seems to be out of the ordinary...or there's something else up their sleeve.

Honda and Suzuki are just crying like little 3 years olds. Racing will still go on while they are sucking on their pacifiers.

I think kawi will be joining them in the playpen. I can't fault them. DMG drop the ball and did the impossible. Further ruining a series that was already F'ked!!!!!

I don't think it is the DMG it is the spoiled manufacturers.

Granted DMG has made some things difficult. But I'm still hoping the overall racing series will be more competetive.
The factories will return. They worked behind the scenes in WSBK for a few years and then came back.

Yamaha seemed to find the time to get bikes together. It's just a matter of how bad they want to race.
Honda pulled out in 1988 too, leaving Rainey and Shobert without a ride. Rainey went to GP and Bubba ran a superbike with limited funds and still won the championship. the link below tells this and that Hodgson might run for Erion or Corona.

I'm sure other teams are look at riders like Duhamel and Disalvo for their teams. They might have to take a pay cut but it beats sitting on the couch while others are racing.

Not sure who would sign Duhamel he is a fossil out there. Granted he had a great career, but he is not a championship contender anymore.
