Suzuki's were last updated in 06 I believe (at least real updates not bs) I have an 05 and it is the best two stroke I have ever ridden. I am with rockcrawlerdude though. Buy a new 2010 KTM 250SX or a 2010 YZ250 and be happy with it. Personally I would go with the KTM. They come with better quality components and they are stupid fast right out of the box. Any reputable suspension guy can dial the suspenders for you if you can't do it yourself. Once set up properly it is just as good as the linkage bikes no matter what anyone tells you. I have owned bikes from all of the big 5 and you really can't go wrong any way you go. It is 95% personal preference.

Suzuki was still making and selling an 09' RM250 and 125 in the UK as of last year. Not sure about 10' models yet.
They just don't want to sell them in the US because it will cut the sales of 4 strokes (their money makers)

KTM continues to build and develop 2-strokes and their in-house parts and service programs back up the consumer every step of the way. I just wish they'd throw a little more technology at their already dominant 2-strokes and give us a taste of what could be. TM also continues 2-stroke development and watch Husky sitting back there flying under the radar. The "other guys" may have given up, but there are still major players who believe in 2-strokes and the people who love them.Wink

Funny...most of us here have already seen pics of 2011 KTM 2-strokers at the test track.

Guess your announcement will come as a surprise to the folks in Austria.

I love you man...

I have an 06' and am oh so happy with it.

Will probably buy another bike in the next year or so but will never sell this one.

Where's the dude on here that built a KTM 300 SX from a 250?!?!?!

My 300 exc is great on the track, you should look into building one of those up...
