Honda has the best bikes in the market. The Rune was designed strictly for the American market, and every decision on it was made to reflect a streamlined, sophisticated style. The Suzuki one was designed for people in need of a fast, yet more 'family-friendly' model.

It became popular amongst celebrities, so people started buying it by the masses. It's just like today, when a famous person scoops up a bike, people are sure to want to purchase one like it. Motorcycles set trends. It also introduced an auto-transmission still used right up to today.

The motorcycle became a vehicle that people garnered as thrilling, quick and just a little dangerous. Racing events became popular and local clubs cemented a customer base. people loved to show off the technical possibilities of their bikes as much as they loved to purchase them as luxury items.

I am proud of all that we have achieved at Sun. This is a decision I have considered carefully over the past year. As we are marching down the path back to profitability, and have, for the most part completed our massive product and customer engagement transitions, I believe I have accomplished what I set out to do.

I expect a decision before jury selection.

In our view, the financial markets are much too complacent about what a decision to keep tightening means at this juncture.
