Excellent, and thanks for taking the time. I have no idea how hard that is to do, but could you mock one up where the green continues into the side panels and rear fender as well?

I was wondering how that looked aswell.

To each his own, as they say, but to my eye, that is just so flippin' good-looking. I could easily be tempted by that, whereas the black and white version - not so much. But like I said, to each his own.

It certainly makes a person wonder if someone over at Acerbis is now searching the shelves for that perfect shade of dark green.

And here we have the numbers for 2024:

Suzuki RM-Z250   $8,099

Honda CRF250R   $8,299

Kawasaki KX250   $8,899

YamahaYZ250F     $8,899

GasGasMC250F    $9,399

Triumph TF250X    $9,995

KTM SXF250        $10,199

Husky FC250F      $10,299

That puts the Triumph right in the hunt of the major Euro brands at $9,995. For a lot of people, it’ll be assumed that the KYB fork and possibly even the shock are better than the WP parts on the Austrian bikes. We’ll find out as soon as Michael and a few other folks throw a leg over one and take it around the track (very soon).

To the people saying it’s an 06 yamaha frame;

If it is a copy it’s probably the 08 which was pretty damn good.

By that logic every aluminum perimeter frame is a copy of what? A 97 cr250?

2016 KX450...

The '97 Honda was also a Kawasaki copy.

Who in their right mind would pay an extra 500 to own a gasgas over a Yamaha, wasn’t the gasgas introduced as a budget friendly offering from the KTM Group? Going from this list the only sensible choice is the Yamaha

The best part of new bikes entering the field: these guys put tens of millions into product development/testing, building professional competitive structures, meeting the countless legal requirements across hundreds of markets, assembling global manufacturing and distribution pathways, working with media, working with third party product developers, constructing a marketing plan.

...And always the biggest argument among the public will be what color of dye goes into the plastic mold.

pretty much sounds like some of you are saying you'd buy it if it was green.  just get yourselves a new purse instead.

IMO, they should've gone with the following color instead.

Pretty interesting that they sound different than any other 250f out there. Almost sounds like the efi is making an electronic whine under the exhaust note. I wonder what that is.

Here's some video from Camden Mc Lellan, one of their MX2 riders,  where he's putting it through it's paces on something that is Not a Sand Track:

https://youtu.be/pjK2pvC7LqY

As for the sound - well, it's going to have to pass Sound Check - they don't mess around with Noise in the GPs - so it may sound a bit different when racing commences.

When I was working at Staintune here in OZ, you could put exactly the same mufflers - and some of them barely that - on a Norton then a Triumph Twin, and geeze the Triumph would have quite the 'crack' to it. 'Harsh' sounding. Whereas the Nortons sounded bloody lovely. Differences between engines : they do, indeed, make a Difference.

It would look badass, the worry with going retro though would be that you end up like the brand JT where it had one thing and everyone was hyped and it kind of had no where to go style wise. 

I think leave the retry vibes to the graphics companies to put

For whatever reason I would have guessed Triumph would have been about the same, even Higher than KTM. As always be interesting on freight/fees etc to get to OTD.
