Suzuki could sell all that stuff. WTF are they thinking?

It simply makes no sense, to me anyway, for a company that claimed financial difficulty for their reason of leaving racing to scrap valuable assets.

Those bike, and spares, are worth millions of Euro/dollars. One would assume that a company in financial difficulty would maximie any cash assets.

What accounting method do they use in Japan...Bankrupt are Us?

I understand about the tax issue...

but, Suzuki is in business to make money. If they sell a product they make money. Granted they pay taxes on profit, but why is the gain of selling the GP bikes different from any other business gain?

Why throw money away? Still doesn't make sense.

I was hoping someone would buy the bikes and spares, run an independent team and maybe give Remy a go. Tongue
