Any news on when we can expect to hear from Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki about their 2020 lineup?

I heard spring forks are working too well nowadays so everyone’s decided to switch back to air forks.

i would expect anyday now from yam and kaw. No clue for suzuki with the restructuring/ plant moving I wouldn't expect much but BNG from them for 20. Their new 250 has barely been out for 3 months as it is.

I figured Suzuki won’t be much, if anything. More so waiting to see what refinements Yamaha and Kawasaki make.

i've heard both that there is and that there isn't. ML is usually pretty good and he was saying it will be all new next year.

If I remember correctly, he said it will get some of the updates the 450 got, but not all. Im pumped to see what they do with it.

If i remember correctly, same chassis as the 450, but same powerplant? Might be the other way around

Suzuki is going to totally redesign and reshape their kickstarter. Should be pretty exciting.

There’s a 50% change to Kawasaki’s 250, expect a new head but possible same bottom end, plastic updates but same suspension. No E start but possibly hydro clutch

Not worth selling the old model for an upgrade.
No E start, no A KIT... will wait for 2021.
