You could pretty much take any of the stock 2019 250f's and it would walk all over the factory 250f's James was racing against on the 125. There is no way someone with Stew's talents now a days could do that against the current crop of factory 250f's.
For a rider to beat the 250f field on a 125 would be mind blowing.
Remember the last race of the year for Stewy that season he rode a 250f and laid the wood again. He was spectacular.
And as far as the 450 goes... I haven't seen any pro's actually complain about the bike other then magazine reviews and vital guys talking about them.
Lawrence is the only rider i know of saying compared to the CRF theirs a difference. but yet again. He got better result on that "yellow turd" every one keeps talking down about.
SO that RMZ250 cant be that bad to get "2 podiums. 1 win and a 3rd."

To say that Suzuki is not up too par to have the caliber of an Alex Martin ride it, is just crazy!!! You seriously need help my man. Did you not see Justin Hill win on this bike just a few months back? Justin said himself the bike is plenty capable and feels better in a lot of areas than the Pc bike he came off of the year earlier.
While we are on this subject please explain to me where they have made their bikes so much better? Please explain this development that you are going on about? All this develpoment and all these bikes can still barely outmatch the stock cornering abilites of the mighty Zook. All I hear is about hp talk, nobody talks about how the bikes reliability is or how they handle. Any one of these brands can make as much horsepower as the next. If you think otherwise you are living underneath a rock. Generating power is the easy part, its applying it to the chassis and ability to get that power to the ground while zapping in and around corners, thats the difficult part. Suzuki knows its been ahead of the game a long time. You dont need to fix what isnt broken. For a bike you are so down about, its won many championships over the years.
It's been slow for a few years, it cannot make the horsepower of the others in its class. The engine design itself will not enable the same efficiency as the Yamaha, KTM, Husky etc. Next years bike may be different, nobody knows yet. But in its current form it is behind the rest of the field in stock form, and behind the rest of the factory's in full race garb also.
It does steer like a beast though, so you got something right.
heres a coupla options:
seek help
or
dont concern yourself with the overriding concensous that the suzuki is NOT as good as the other bikes.
Now listen here, yes it can be made competitive.......abeit with a ton of money thrown at it..
go cry some mighty yellow tears
that will help you turn this problem around..
whenever they have gotten away from any real program aimed at being the top winner they have let their bikes go in terms of engine development. Their engines have always had budget clutches and gearboxes.
THE ONLY THING they get right is frame geometry. when the rmz/kxf split you can see what they cared more about, kawi built the strongest engine for years while suzuki went to their frame.
For example the fastest (enginewise) 450 i've ever rode was my old 2005 crf, it was waaay more violent than my old 2014 ktm 450 , 2012 ysf 450 or my friends 2018 crf 450. And even a 2001 426 i believe would probably make more peak hp than a 2011 yzf 450 even tho the curve would be completly different on the newer bike. Fuck i remember seing bartolini winning the 500gp in Västerås sweden 97 or 98 on a yzm400 and beating smets 600, efreim and hanssons 500 2 strokes etc and that was probably the first 4 stroke that made the same hp as the bigger bikes but with a lighter and more nimble chassi
I mean, too much talk about the bike but reed did well on the big yellow turd, i dont think that it´s too much of a difference with the 250f chassis/handling wise.
but on the ktm Amart didnt looked comfortable, swapping from side to side, so hopefully the suzuki magic will do wonders for him!
