Did honda's brake routing patent finally run out? Or did suzuki fork over the cash to honda to be able to run it?

 

[whyz]

MXP,,
Is there any big difference in the gear ratio from our bikes?

 

[Y2Z]

does anyone know how the KX250f, RM250F, and CR250F compare the the YZF?? me and my friends are doing alot of debating on whether or not the YZ is still at the top in performance.

 

[Combat767]

Unfortunately we probably won't know much until the publications start doing some testing. Hopefully that'll happen in the next couple months.

 

[TrackMaster]

Does anyone know a difference between the kxf and the rmz besides the color/graphics/shrouds? they both look almost exactly the same in the article in cycle news.

 

[G92Joe]

I believe the RMF uses showa suspension, KXf uses kayaba

 

[Onore GT]

The Suzuki factory bikes have been using Showa and the Kawasaki guys Kayaba, however, all the production bikes have Kayaba.

 

[roosteater]

Well, if both are running Kayaba, that's a disappointment. There should be something that distinguishes these two bikes besides the color, shroud shape, and graphics. I think these bikes look great, but if they're just going to put out basically the exact same damned bikes, why not just stop screwing around and do a complete merger.

that makes me kinda mad, the rmz should run the showa suspension. i have an rm 125 right now and have ridden other bikes with kyb suspension and just love the showa. haaaa! oh well, if they want to make two of the same exact bikes just let them i guess.

Looks to me that the Yamaha is the ONLY bike in the heap.

Is it just me, or does is seem funny how Yamaha just dropped the 250-f from the sky with no hoopla. The Honda has been hyped, overhyped, and hyped again. Has anyone seen one? I haven't. Has anyone seen a Zook or Kawi? Again, I haven't.

Why speculate; wait another couple of years and these bikes might show up at a local track or two. Until then; comparing an existing bike to a non-existing bike would seem to be folly.

Jon - don't forget that the '04's will be coming out in the next couple of months, so I would not be surprised to see all four brands available soon. And, as far as Honda goes, yes there is a lot of hoopla surrounding the new bike but look at how successful the CR450 has been. I have no doubt the 250 will be great, too.
