The wait is killing me. Hoping they switch to the Showa SFF AIR TAC's and trim up the bike a little bit. That might be enough for me to upgrade from my 2013.

We should see something in July if I remember correctly. I think Keefer mentioned it on the pulp show. Not positive on the source though. I'm hoping for some updates, because I'm not too excited about any of the other '15s.

When they will come out? Husqvarna having media view now and others have come out earlier...
I hope 250 have SSF Air some sort.

Yea. Triple Air Chamber (TAC) is what they were referred to prior to them being announced for the '15 RM-Z450. I'm hoping for the switch to Showa over the KYB PSF2 the Honda 450's got for '15.

Too many 2014 bikes at dealers or why Kawasaki holding bikes so late?

I figured you were getting tired of hearing me complain about waiting for kawi to release the 2015 lineup so I'd bother the online community with my complaining and wishlist.

KX 450 has had KYB suspension since it was introduced in 2006. I wouldn't hold my breath for SHOWA on the '15. They do however use SHOWA on the KX 250.

I thought the info was already released, PSF2's and a new shock with all the adjustment in the compression adjuster/passive valve like RV2's works Showa shock???

Maybe it was the Honda?

Sometimes I feel like I have a Crayon in my brain...

RV2 shock was Showa and new KYB shock was with Honda wich looked same.
RV2 did go back to old shock during SX season and results got better, maybe there was
some development still going with Showa new desing wich is totally different than KYB.
