Motocross bikes are about 500 dollars from being too much for my taste. It’s not about what I can afford, but what I’m willing to pay. I bet a lot of people feel like that too. If I could get an RMZ for 6k I’d have done it probably. The gasgas is cool but idk if I’ll ever notice the differences. Maybe I will when I do a spring conversion to it for another $1000 dollars 😂😂😂
MX bikes are 500$ from being to expensive. But I’ll buy spring conversions. Dude you sound like an idiot that’s just looking for attention.

If they are pricing themselves out, why is Suzuki the only brand offering huge discounts on leftovers every year? Meanwhile, I had to drive over 4 hours just to find a Kawasaki in stock.

Can someone give me a real reason why they need it to have an electric start? More weight, center of gravity height increase, increased chance of failure, you have to kick it like you have your whole life unless this is your first year riding.

Not to mention, my RM-Z never started on the second kick. Always first. I'm failing to see why this makes everyone cry.

Nope. Motorcycles shouldn't be designed around niche injuries though.

I said that I think new bikes are a hair away from being "not worth it" and I'm an idiot? Or was it the light hearted comment about how I'll simultaneously try to justify more mods to said bike?

I'm thinking you're the one with the smooth brain, soggy.

I didn’t say you were. I said you sound like an idiot. Anyone that has read this thread probably feels the same way.

Huh? No huge discounts the last two years on anything, 4-5 dealers around me have kawis? Pre COVID any brand left over was discounted

You’re just being an asshole at this point. If you can’t figure out why the RMZ needs electric start that’s on you. Also, a hot start button?? What year are you in?

It’s common sense to put an E start on a bike now. Shit even 110’s have E start now. It’s 2022. Evolve.

To be fair, 110s have had e-start since before mxers.
It sucks ass though. I sold my pre e start 110 years ago and have an e start model now. It has to add over 20 lbs to the motorcycle. 14 individual fasteners in the rear fender to keep all those goodies together, not to mention some pop rivets.

Boy, I wonder who it could’ve been? Surely not the guy that proudly calls himself a Groyper…

The Groyper movement has been described as white nationalist, homophobic, nativist, fascist, sexist, and antisemitic.


Dudes a toxic internet troll.

I love a good Meltdown thread, they have brought immeasurable joy to me over the years.

ML said he was told that the RM-Z will be updated next year. I'm sure even if they don't update it, they will get lots of talk about them.

I’m just waiting for Honda and KTM to update their bikes. Been using the same engines since 2018.

Someone should tell the Factory Edition owners,
If it aint broke, dont fix it.

The ktm powerplant is a work of art, but i love the powercurve of my honda.

I ride an RM and two RMZs. For me the biggest reason the latest iterations need the button is that they gotten too tall. I'm fine with my 07s and no e but I have to keep a milk crate next to my track to stop at with my 20. Before that I took my buddy out sitting still when I lost my balance. There is also the issue with my hip cramping from stretching too far to kick. In case your wondering I'm under 5' 8" and 66.

Ive had 6 RMZs, 05/08/10/13/15/18 I now ride a KTM but would own a suzuki again no problem. It needs electric start, I would put KYB forks and shock on both 250 and 450 and just use the YZF valving, its gonna be better than suzukis. Better spring rates from stock.

The bulk of the weight is from the motor and the exhaust, the motor is unchanged from 2008.......
