I️ sure hope they get it figured out........

We now have 5 or 6 shootouts with similar results to each other that are completely different to MXAs results. Are we to assume those shootouts are wrong (and the dozens of participating test riders opinions)? Common sense tells me something is off with ... more »

Keefers and Vitals tests just seem more unbiased as they look at each specific system that makes for a good/not so good bike. They break down engine, suspension, handling, ergos, etc. in detail and include lap times and details from several riders. Way ... more »

I’m surprised no one started a thread on Keefers shootout last week. All the shootouts thus far have pretty much came to the same rankings. Except for MXA. Shocking.....?

So far 2 firsts and a second in the shootouts. Impressive. I️ might need one.

I️ haven’t read or seen a pic of him on the new Kawi. Anyone else seen it?

That guy is an idiot for sure. Having said that, it’s not a motocross specific problem and its got nothing to do with politics. There are idiot fans like that everywhere and in every sport. Ever been to a Eagles game? Ever watched a European soccer game? ... more »

That’s an oil cooler. Not the issue.

No way he’ll switch even if he does like it. They don’t have enough race parts etc. No reason to push it when he’s comfortable on the current bike after working hard to get that way.

A guy replied to a MXA I️nstagram post re the new KX saying he bought one on Sat. When you go to his Instagram account he has a pic of it in the back of his truck. They are available.

Everything I️’ve read or watched has been a rave review. I’d bet Eli can’t wait for the race bike to be ready.

Keefer’s pod cast is up and it sounds like the new Kawi is a winner folks.

You’re right! Cheers Kawi. Sure hope the ride reports tomorrow are good.

Not sure what you mean by “worst bikes”. For many years the KX450F was ranked best in shootouts. The RMZ and KX haven’t ranked in the top in recent years but that doesn’t mean either is bad by any means. All the bikes are great and offer more than most ... more »

I️ noticed they dropped the “F” from the 450 butt haven’t seen the ‘19 250 yet.

Believe dry weight was 231lbs for ‘18 and the new one is 232.4lbs.

Impressed with the weight. They added electronic start, hydraulic clutch and spring forks but only gained 1.4 lbs.
