CM needs to be on a Yami or its career suicide. A champion gets the best equipment possible its a vital part of the equation.

Mad respect for Larry Brooks and his turd polishing abilities - but that bike is a pile of shit - it can only be polished so much.

It was a pile of shit 5 years ago, it aint changed a stitch - everyone else has kept developing - is Mumfords dazzy retarded?

The 2019 RMZ250 was a completely new bike. How can people look at a 2018 vs 2019 and say they haven’t changed.

New frame
Swingarm
Forks
Shock
Cylinder Head
2nd Injector
Plastic

How can KTM change the fuckin plastic on their bikes and everyone’s acting like it’s some modern engineering marvel.

What’s so different from a 2017 vs 2021 KTM.

Not fuckin much.
well said

Thats really stupid and obviously those people have never owned one.

They are great bikes, not surprising the 2021 Honda weighs more with the stupid twice pipes, but I am surprised at the yzf250 being heavier than the rmz250.

Objectively, it's been a long time since any championship contender signed up with a suzuki team.

I'll probably have to return the Rickman back to the Rickman dealer for falsely putting MX in the name.

Let me go dig around for my receipt...

Suzuki has a great platform for a team like BAR-X. The bike is well studied and people know what it needs to make it good. They are killing it and I suspect more great results next year.

Who says it didn't work out?

While it was functioning it worked great, the RCH rig was the place to be in the pits and they had great activation. This team is much smaller scale than RCH with different goals.

Full disclosure This post isn't to stroke KW, I would probably hate him if I knew him and he seems like a basket case but if you listen to him and forget that he is a punk rock guy he's really sharp. Every time I hear him get into a subject I have to remind myself to not judge a book by its cover.

Neither has JGR, Gieco, Factory Suzuki, Factory Yamaha (2x), etc. shit happens.

The underlying problem with each one of those Teams was the rug being pulled by sponsorship. Not the OEM itself outside of Yamaha handing the reigns to Star.

That was kind of my point to LB. rugs get pulled out and shit happens, not like RCH closing up was Kenny’s fault like he’s implying

Vital is an odd place. My taste in bikes, motocross bona-fides, earning ability, life outlook - that's all up for debate based simply on my saying that the '21 rmz250 was kind of in the middle of its class weight-wise; Which is something that is verifiably true.

Post of The Day!

That's some funny stuff & it's on a motocross forum in "Moto-Related".

Bwaaahaaahaaaahaaaaa

Note: life DOES NOT get more "MX" than a Rickman MX125 or the AJS Stormer.

A question: does the Rickman have a Zundapp, DKW or some other engine...?

Zundapp motor ported to the specification that came with it in a 3 ring binder "Rickman competition performance tuning addendum."

Also came with a few extra neutrals free-of-charge.

Yea it kind of blows my mind.

I’m not a Suzuki diehard who thinks what bike they own is best.

I know where my bike is lacking with weight and no electric start.

I know where my bike has advantages. The precise handling and tractor like power.

I’m not biased in saying that the zooks look badass.

Rode the Suzuki when they released the new bike in 2018. Rode it for over a year. Won plenty of races on it and was stoked on how well it held up. It was a REALLY good off-road bike, too.

A very inexpensive bike to ride for a year (didn't have to buy any batteries). Grinning
