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

it is messed up. you can buy a 500hp gas inhaling SUV but not a bike.

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?

A little background

https://sasatimes.com/motogp-suzuki-gsx-rr-motorcycles-will-be-destroyed-the-reason-for-that-decision-is-surprising/
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. :P

With all your money, you should call Hammamatsu and make an offer. ;D
