hi,, anyone own both an 02/03 rm 250? is the 03 really that much better like the magazines say? and did bottom end really improve?

I dont own one but have raced both of them. The 03 is much stronger and has the best steering of all 4 makes. The suspension still seems to be the same slushy Suzuki shocks and forks.

The engine is where you will see a major change, it actually beats out the CR for 03 and you know where the RM was last year. The bottom end is radical and pulls. Mid power is Normal and top end is abot 20% better than last year.

I do believe Pro-Circuit did a Dyno on all 4 of the major makes and the RM came in second for power next to the YZ. Where's Honda? Not this year baby!!!!
