Looks like MCR is going to have to run yellow plastic next year so their bikes don't look like Suzuki's.

The black fender doesn't look too bad on the 250 because it at least flows with the black airbox plastic. It makes no sense on the 450, though. The black fork guards make no sense on either bike.

And, yes, that is mustard yellow. Maybe they have French's coming on board as a title sponsor next year?

What it really needs is more technology and a higher MSRP. That would sell more units, right Japan?

Have to agree. Bring back the yellow and blue:

"hey man, didn't you get a new 450? let's see that thing!"

"uhhh...errr... no i'm getting it next week." (quietly checks internet on phone to see when the plastic kit is showing up....)

Bet anyone here that when/if you see the new bike in person, you'll like it quite a bit. Kawi looks the same to me each year so not sure why some of you are getting your panties in a wad. A new bike (pick a brand) always looks damm good in a showroom - ALWAYS!

I have been waiting for details of the new RMZ's to come out - it's about time!

I am surprised no one seems to have noticed that both bikes have received some updates that aren't cosmetic. Most significantly, they both now come with the new Showa Separate Function forks. Also, they have each received modifications to the gear shifting mechanism for smoother shifts. The 250 has new cams, piston and con-rod, while the 450 gets a new piston, con-rod and intake cam. The 450 also has a revised frame. Whether these changes amount to anything on the track remains to be seen, but poor gear shifting and fork performance seem to be most riders complaints about the current models. The 2010-2012's are great bikes, and I guess Suzuki chose to refine them rather than redesign them - if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I actually don't think they look that bad - the black rear fender kind of suits the bikes. I hope they haven't gone back to the pre 2001 shade of yellow though - I always hated that colour. The standard graphics and plastics are inexpensive and easy to change if you don't like them (most people do this anyway).

So bikes are the opposite of girls on facebook? They actually look better in person? And your kawi argument doesn't hold water. If your wife is smokin hot and looks the same every year, that is a GOOD thing. Repeat after me.. smoking hot wife= good thing. What are we talking about again? Smile

hate to break it to ya bud, but suzuki's are sexier than green KX's. Even with color changes.
