DRZ Supermoto Not Coming Back ... Ever

[Greguw]

I was at a dealer the other day buying a new KTM , I have the SMC and was just picking up the enduro R . There was a suzuki rep there and got to chating with him about all the bikes not just KTM or suzuki .
The manufactures seem to have cut way back on production on alot of models as most of you guys know , the rep said you will not see a supermoto in suzuki line for many years to come .
Said the northeastern and westcoast was the biggest selling area , the numbers did not justify keeping the line alive .
Was told there working on fuel injection for the 400s for next year but its going to be more like 2014 .
The DRZ 400 sm was a great starter machine sad to say I will miss it ... Thats why god created KTM

The most important question is... will the new model have new stickers??? How did you miss that question Next DRZ SM needs FI and a 6 speed box and it's perfect if you ask me, perfect for what is it anyway, basically a commuter supermoto.

I said to the rep your company can put fuel injection in the LTR 450 and RMZ why not just put that into the drz even if it was the enduro , all the guys would buy them and just sm the bikes .
I think it would scare the crap out of the regular joe blow riders even in dirt form .

I was like Joe the plummer for what the rider really wants ... LOL

you realize its still sold every where else, just not in the US right?

Yep ... sucks Europe and Asia gets all the good bikes .
