I purposely left off the kx327 but if that’s your vote then go like the first response** & still vote!
What are you most interested in or eyeing up with several new or updated models coming out for 2027? If i missed any let me know maybe i can add them. I don’t think the new Ducati from the MXGPs is making it into production. I’m not sure on the beta.

Like this comment if it is the KX327
I'm voting Beta 250F not because I'm in love with the brand, but because I want to see if it's got the ability to get stroked/punched out to replace their "big block" based 350 with the "small block" of the 250 to make a true four stroke motocross competitor to the Austrian 350s for 2029.
Someone's got to do it!

I’m interested in what Kawi is bringing to the new 450. I enjoy my current gen, which they made a lot of improvements to in ‘24.

Pinnit Racing makes a carb conversion kit, FYI. Strap a STIC Super X PWK carb on it for a serious power increase from off idle thru extended top end. FYI, it can be too manic for some to control.
1985 SR250
ZX Moto 250 and 450. Specs seem to match the Jap and Austrian bikes, but cost half a s much new.

I’m in the market for a new 450. KXf, CRF and RMZ. I liked my 19 Kawi 450 so much I still have it. Was not a fan of the current gen kx. If the new gen has more of the 19-23 kx traits for handling and the engine is improved I’d really like to get the kx. The new Honda sounds good but the new clutch, weight loss and suspension tweaks are a big question mark. The RMZ-know exactly what you are getting and even better now with kyb suspension.

I may be a bit behind the times.....
1985 RC250M
The YZ250 2-stroke. It’s just the perfect do-it-all bike.
This gets my vote (if I were in the market for an MX bike these days)
KX327X
BSA engine?
Curious to see if the RMZ finally gets an update, ie electric start
Also curious to see if the new KX will change their trajectory, maybe keep Chase around..but doubt it lol
I don’t know where my obsession with beta comes from. I’ve never raced one or ridden woods until I quit racing moto. But I’m just so intrigued by their bikes I’d love to see them do something with the 390cc geared more towards moto, which would possibly the most impractical bike ever made but I can’t help but feel like it would be perfect in it’s own way. I just want the company to do well in general

I’ve actually said this to the guys at Beta. Or at least a 300cc that’s done right (not just a bigger piston) lthe TM 300 4t is a great bike that’s both bore and stroked to get there with a different head.
Just kyb suspension and a few small updates, still kick start.
I'd love to be able to buy a brand new 1989 CR250.....and that new KX327.
+1
Just curious why you purposely left the 327 off the list?
The first tragedy was the1986 production rule.
The second tragedy was the introduction of the 4 stroke at the Las Vegas SX.
Now we’re stuck with these dreadful 4-strokes. About as appealing as eating a dirty sock.
I regret I only have one thumbs up to give.
I want a detailed shootout between the kawi 327, fantic 300, and beta 350 offroad version when its out. I have a feeling kawi will clean up do to price alone being low enough that anything lacking can be fixed and still be under the euro brands.
The beta. Cool having another 250 option.
I'd like to see this spring's 85cc shootout and if Kawi's updates made sizeable gains.
The electrics. New Yamaha electric I’ll be interested in hearing about. Don’t think it’ll replace my stark, but I hope they sell like hot cakes so more companies get on board with the e-bikes.
