What do we know of so far. Updated bodywork for 2020 kx250f. Or will it be called kx250?

Updated yz85 bodywork? They already added the powervalve for 19’. Will the new bodywork be similar to the new 250f or 65?

RMZ plastics restyle kits for RM’s.

Possible added bracing on KTM FE frames under exhaust.

Will Husky move further away from KTM. KTM had said Husky will be the “premium” brand where new tech is introduced, then when it matures if its good it will move to the KTM. Do we start to see more of this?

Will Suzuki drop any weight or e-start. I know they just did a cycle update but Honda added e-start oem after a first year of kickers on the new 450.

What can we say for certain, rumors, etc in the moto world for 2020... Hopefully a new arms race in helmet tech has begun.

2019 Kawasaki dropped the F from the 450 and 250.

As far the kx250f, its already called a kx250. They took the f off both bikes. Also the 250 will get all of the treatment the 450 did. It will be much more than new plastics.

I also heard from a great source that ... Finally ... We'll get some new YZs 125 (and 250 ?). I know that's been said for years now but I believe my source this time and I really hope he told me the truth !!

I was told the same thing a couple years back but it proved to be false. This guy was a poser telling everyone he worked for Yamaha.

The main guys under the tent at Loretta's told me there will not be a new YZ 125 or 250.

Though it would be awesome to see new 2-strokes.

2020 will bring us a Barbara Walters’ special telling us how stupid we are for combining danger and fun. Ban on children’s bikes to follow (Our equally dumb kids might eat foot pegs and batteries).

Nobody who works for yamaha would ever be spilling any beans about an all new model...or pretty much anything else for that matter....more than their job is worth

Has Kawasaki put out what there press release date will be? I was told by a good source that they couldn't get the 250 ready in time and it will be Bold New Graphics

I'm looking forward to battery powered bikes so we can stop the endless destruction of our environment and its limited resources. Let's make moto relevant with the times.

It’s not BNG but it’s not the full redo the 450 got.

ML genuine question, but do you think the 2020 KX250 will be worth it for new buyers? Or will it be better to wait for it to get the full treatment in 2021? Seems odd for Kawi to release a kind of "interim" bike in the middle if that makes sense.
