I thought you had something like a portal with all the announcements for and schedules for Suzuki

Well, that’s not the same fork as the 250, and just few changes. I was hoping for more

Good to see the switch to KYB on the 450. It would be nice if the 250 actually came with proper spring rates for the bike as well. If zook refined the package a little more to make it very solid on all aspects. It’s tough for me looking at a 26 rmz250 next to a 26 crf250r and choosing the Rmz unless I’m a diehard zook guy.

I thought that the Rmz 450 and 250 used same tyre but with different measures, did they change brand ?

450 used Bridgestone's and 250 used Dunlop. Not sure on 27 450.

Revised plusher shock rate, when it was already in the ballpark, but the forks were insanely stiff? And now the rear is even softer in relation?

Hey, it could have got lost in translation. Maybe it was the forks that got worked on. Or maybe they made the shock way stiffer to make the forks feel better.

If they changed the linkage and increased progression, the initial stroke will be softer and the end stroke will be firmer.

Edit: Nevermind, it specifically mentions spring rate, so it's not a progressive vs linear thing.
