....That Suzuki is bringing back the 2-strokes for 2013 or something.


Can anyone confirm this?

Ping said that just to discredit the other factories.

I heard the same thing. Wasn't it in during a Pulpmx podcast or on the Pulpmx Show with Kenny Watson and the other guy? I did a double take when I heard it. I'm skeptical but hey, Ping knows who owes who money in the moto industry so he probably knows what the factories have up their sleeves....Wink

BTW: does Yoshimura make 2 stroke pipes?

Chromoly frame is one of the features that makes the RM250 so great. Bike just needs a few engine, cosmetics, swingarm and suspension upgrades and it will sell.

I agree, stay with a steel frame...it is cheaper and easier to build and will keep the cost down... Oh, crap, I just woke up and was having a dream....

What would make this a better bike isn't an AL frame but please god, get rid of the half-tank shrouds. Put the shrouds over the entire side of the tank so the bike can be made to look good with a simple plastic swap.
