My prediction:

1/2 - KTM/Husqy (it's tough to separate these two, but more than anything KTM #1 - hard to say on the Husqy)
3/4 - Honda/Kawasaki (I don't think the Honda beats the KTM)
5 - Yamaha (the Yamaha is getting a bit dated in some ways even though it has an awesome engine and suspension)
6 - Suzuki (no explanation needed)

Just my guess - please don't flame me if you disagree Smile
What about the Alta? TM and Cannondale?? lol i kid, i kidddd

My Prediction for Vital shootout (we know MXA will differ):

1 - Honda maybe slightly less HP than KTM/Husky but it will put the power to the ground much better and hook up
2/3 - KTM/Husky - maybe edge to the Husky
3 - Kawasaki
4 - Yamaha
5 - Suzuki

But you could win on any brand!!

Nice effort by Honda, but still a lot heavier. A year of tweaking and a diet before Honda goes to top. Unless KTM does something big...

Sorry all, slight hickups on my end. Waiting on dyno charts, which I'll have in the morning and I'm working late tonight to make sure everything else is ready to roll.

Here's a hint, no one's list that has been posted is a match to our overall results.

He included it but I'm taking it out. It doesn't make sense to include a completely different bike. But......if we are splitting hairs.....it would be last

Sounds like the RX is a better moto machine in some regards, perhaps more so for a vet rider?

After all the grief he received with the 250 test/comparison can you blame him for taking his time on the 450?

Glad you guys put so much time and effort in testing, and weren't persuaded by outside BS. The GPS lap times added a cool element. Keep up the good work!
