Great documentary.

With a bunch of similar stories...this (below) is an excellent book (e-book only it seems). While most riders say the 500s were the most exciting, they also agree that the bikes were shit compared to the 990s and on.

The rivalry between Schwantz and Rainey was awesome. Part 2 was great.

Thanks for the link 

The Suzuki was apparently really tough to set-up correctly. When right it was a good bike, when not (usually) it was an animal. Most think Schwantz would have more titles had he not stuck with Suzuki.
