They Look like a good thing
Not a fan of the Sachs suspension tho would have been better with Marzocchi/KYB/Ohlins/Showa CC forks and Ohlins rear Boingerollie

BTW I rode a 99 RMX for about 50 kays up in the Watagans last weekend
still love the old Suzuki 2 strokes. How good are the seats on em like an arm chair compared to the Brick on the Gasser :laugh:Ollie

Think about it they need only dust of the blue prints to a 85 model YZ or RM etc technology hasn’t changed and bang your in the game. Market share extra easy.
Oh yeah don’t forget the conspiracy theory
by the way if Yamaha marketed the YZ 400 which changed the landscape why does Honda get the blame :dry:Oh the debate :laugh:

Unfortunately it appears for the Japs its all about the bottoms line. They only spend to develop a small model range to maximise profits for those models. If they were to produce 2T off road models no doubt they would just be pulling market share from their 4T range.
Have a look at the Jap range of off roaders compared to the Euros. No contest the Euros make everything from 125cc 2T up to 500+cc 4T whilst the Japs hang their hat on 450cc 4T and a couple 250’s. Yes it may corporate sense and be more profitable but f#*k they have become boring.
Love or hate the Euros and 2T at least they show passion and excitement.

[/quote] this two stroke vs 4stroke thing has been going on as long as i have been riding ie before i was an adult(am old to) only thing i have to add is its good to still have a choice and like both and 2 strokes suck on long steap hills :whistle:Scotty wrote:Trailboss wrote:And the your ADV husky doesn’t count as a performance four stroke sorry[/color]TB
