I noticed that the from the top 8 places for each of the E1, E2 and E3 categories there are only 3 Honda’s. There are almost as many TM’s there! There are also Gas Gas’s, Huskies etc.

So, why aren’t there more Honda’s there being such a major manufacturer and all?

Struck me as interesting…..

I have just noticed there isnt a factory supported team from Honda in any of the categories!
Now with a bike being a bike something we all agreed on, if you are going to get no support from Honda (cause their money is in F1 or chook houses I dont know :laugh: ) wouldn’t you then use a brand that well give you support financial or parts bikes etc. You can then afford to compete doesnt matter to the pro’s they go with the money dont they

Reality leads us to the facts, Honda has won more championships, more race and more titles then any other manufacturer that is a fact. The next fact the other brands scream is Honda has been around longer, yes thats true. They are the biggest they scream yes thats true also, wonder why the are, maybe again because they have been here longer. Its more then that but and we all know it.

As you can see facts can be made to line up for any side of a discussion, thats a fact :laugh:

Moto you said we are Old Bull Trailriders and we are, not old bull enduro racers, old bull desert racers. If you raced and Suzuki offered a deal better money and support then anyone else tell me you wouldn’t take it? Yes you would as would we all.

Great stir, pity it went gay but Menace will run that old chestnut now for a while I think as pay back cuase he has got nothing else :laugh:

Moto I can hear you working out facts and statistics from here, remember that facts are facts and can be anyway we want, as I wrote with Honda. I could say that fact is KTM has won more titles in the last week, that may also be true, Honda aren’t winning them now maybe KTM are, I dont know and I dont care :laugh: :laugh: . Two of my favourite riders that I support and rate the highest both ride Kato’s . I like Holdens and support Craig Lowndes .
My next bike wont be a Honda fact !

The facts can’t be made up for any side of the discussion, your facts aren’t relevant to the discussion which is as per the title ‘What’s wrong with Honda?’.

All you’ve pointed out is that they are bigger, been around longer and HAS won more championships in days gone by.

Honestly that awesome, no it really is, and if I want to buy a bike form 1985 I’ll bear that in mind

All the facts you have pointed out re-iterate my point; for the biggest, bestest, most winningest trailbike manufacturer of them all where are they now, where are their factory teams? Don’t you think it’s about time you give it up.

As you have said before what wins on Sunday sells on Monday, so I’m surprised Honda sell anything

As I pointed out their money or priorities are elsewhere, here is a news flash watch where KTM’s race money goes next year, road racing thats right there is a new team being setup now in Austarlia thats I am told why the factory race team was dumped for a support team. Honda has cut its budget for GHR because of the GFC

Sorry that wasnt the point I was making my point I made if you read was I dont buy on what wins as I dont think many trailriders do sorry if I am wrong but I can be wrong and can handle it :laugh:

PS I dont care because you are a mole and I am right or wrong again I am happy with either or with both :laugh: :laugh:

It was a good laugh this thread, I’ll give it a few months and then repost it :laugh:

[GregMember]

What given up all ready? Well I guess it stands to reason :laugh:

It was a good thread pointless, can be argued anyway and no one will be right

Are Moto you are a shit stirer. I think you find when it comes to Honda they know how to sell a product and your argument shows they don’t have to throw big dollars at racing to do it.

Yes KTM sell more enduro bikes here in OZ the Honda, but they have a least 8 enduro models to Honda’s 2. If ya look at the so called premier class the 450’s, the CRF450 outsells the KTM450 even though it has’nt won shit all enduro wise. Imagine if Honda through a race budget at it.

Honda are about profit and they know the money at the moment is in the US MX and sport bike market. I’ll bet in the profit race no other company gets near them.

And no im not a Honda or KTM lover just an outside observer who has never seen Broke Back Mountain. :blink:
