    It’s always about performance, never about maintenance, easy to work on, reliability, costs of parts, cleaning etc. For the weekend warriors, way more important than hp.

      100% agreed! I’m more worried about value, maintenance, and longevity/reliability rather than tune maps, peak hp, and other insignificant features. There is a $3000 cost differential between the Suzuki and the Husky!!!

    My opinion, if it matters or not, if youre a serious racer you modify your bike. Modify everything. If youre a play rider it is a little about brand loyalty, a little how you fit on the bike, a little on budget, a little on your mechanical know how a little on what/where/how u ride. All these brands make nice bikes.

    No mention about the value proposition that Suzuki offers. It’s a great bike for those who are weekend warriors. When some of the other competitors are 35% more expensive, you have to at least mention price. Suzuki makes a good bike, with a good power band curve. I’d rather have that then peaky high rpm that will be harder on engine components.

      This is very very false and another scapegoat answer for the other manufacturers. They have posted extended videos, explaining that. Yes there are other bikes that you can add for example, a sprocket to or a pipe, too, or some thing and it can become better, if you ride, you should know better and should know that any bike is great. As long as you have a positive perception of your bike get the set up right and believe that the equipment under you is Good enough to do the job at hand and you are willing to work on your own form and abilities. This is a test for stock 100,000,000% stock, and right off the showroom floor. There is no doubt that the Austrian bikes have more race parts are more reliable and are a better option if you are willing to pay the price tag, which is not very significant difference these days as the other brands have increased their pricing. People need to get over themselves and stop hating on some thing because they don’t like it or can’t afford it.

    Glad I watched this. I was on the fence being a life long kawasaki fan. But 20 years later getting back into the woods I’ve been eye balling the ga gas. And now knowing the advantages of the Ktm and their 2 maps vs buying a tuner etc. It seems the ktm is a better one and done for what I need. So I can just ride and enjoy the features without instantly buying mods. Only mod I need is a skid plate and I’m off. Appreciate this content. And super exited to have my first lifetime brand new bike. Wasn’t blessed with hand me down money or an east road to paychecks. So this is a big purchase for me at this point in my life. And I want to make the right choice. So as I sit I’m planning ktm. With gas gas as my choice until this video. Either way I’m good. But I like the few extra mods I get with ktm that would cost a lot to buy afterwards.

    Goes to show differing opinions. I personally think the Suzuki is the best bike all round. Plenty of power and it’s low and medium power is great so you can ride it in any setting or any track. Not sure why they say it has a ‘lack of power’ you can hardly tell unless you’re a pro ringing their neck for every bit of power. Yes, I’d like e-start and I hope they implement it soon but that’s it. Every single bike you have to mess with suspension to make it good for the individual riding. But imo the forks aren’t even half as stiff as they are made out to be and I’m not heavy, I’m only around 170lbs at 5’11. The CRF is a great bike as well. Crazy they are last and second to last, I’d put the zookie first and CRF second. My mate has the KTM and it’s not great imo, I’d have the Suzuki all day compared to his KTM.

    Previous years Austrian bikes won the shootouts because they had the most horsepower hydraulic clutch etc.
    Now kawasaki have the most horsepower, is the most stable bike, reliable with KYB suspension ( much better than WP) and it came forth because MXA decided that suddenly kx250 is a bad turning bike!!!!!
    By the way its the only magazine who says that .
    All the other magazines says the opposite.
    MXA thanks again for the "unbiased" shootout

      @HPRaceDevelopment Год назад +1

      KX has a stiff fork - just because it's kyb doesn't mean the "setting" is desireable. Kawasaki decides what valving combo the bike comes with. Additionally - the chassis plays a big role in felt stiffness - the kx gives more feedback than the yamaha chassis does - in exchange for what I feel is better trust of the stability.
      I think if they did a "mod bike" shootout - with say 5k budget - it could be really interesting. Pipe, clamps, suspension and some minor motor work would be about that budget. All the bikes would get a lot closer as the slower ones respond bigger to work than the faster ones.

      By “as always” did you mean “different to just last year”…? Yamaha was 3rd last year and the Suzuki comes last in literally every shootout because it hasn’t been updated in forever.

    I have ALWAYS been a yellow fan, i feel like taking kickers away from all the bikes takes out of some of the "dirtbike" feel. A kicker as a secondary just to know i can is ideal. That being said suzuki definitely needs to add e-start but keep the kicker as back up.
