Kind of odd, one of the bikes Showa and one is KYB. Interesting.

Please please make a great bike for 15. It may be my last one.

Lately Honda builds bikes at the minimum on 3 year production cycles. The 2013 was brand new so I doubt the 2015 is going to be much different. Just minor refinements to the existing 2013/14 design.

Yea I know but I am hoping for clutch, power and fork updates and I will be happy. I can fix it all if not. Rekluse, pipe and map. I will be happy just to be on the track again on my first fuel injected bike. Ha

I'm pretty sure factory Honda Japan has been this way with suspension components the last few years.

It's pretty common for the Japanese teams to have riders running different components on the same team.

speaking strictly about Honda CRF cosmetics, I personally think they are , by far, the most boring , same old red and white crap year after year after year. come on. would a nice blue seat and some blue graphics kill honda? hard to get excited about buying a bike that clearly is stuck with the same general graphic package for nearly 20 years now (not CRF)
