sanddevil111 Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I don't know what mags you have been reading, but everything I have seen has said nothing other than the new 05 CRF is the best moto-x bike ever...period. I have not seen one article indicate in anyway that any of the other bikes might even challenge the Honda. I ride a KX250 for MX now and obviously the Banshee for fun, but I fear my next MX bike wil be the CRF. But if you have seen some other articles saying negative stuff about the CRF or that the RMZ will beat it I would like to read it, let me know. Thanks. RJV 286564[/snapback] I think i saw it in transworld motocross a few months back. it wasnt a shootout or anything. They were talkin about european motocross and you cant tell me honda doesnt have more money than Suzuki to spend on makin there works bikes faster so thats no excuse but i read that the new rmz450 was leaving the crf in its roost out of every corner. Yea it could be the rider but the guy on the honda was like 2 or 3 rd in the championship last year and the other guy on suzuki wasnt even placed. But im not sayin the crf450 isnt the best mx'r ever i think it very well may be but the rmz isnt even out yet on us soil. so that is only a temporary statement unless it can prove itself against the new bikes. They didnt say how the suzuki handled or anything so chances are that the crf is a better handler but they said the motor was way faster. which they also said about the yamaha against the crf but the crf is light and nimble so it makes up for it. so i agree with you on what you said rjvoight but i was just tellin the guy to wait and see if the crf stays on top.

rjvoight Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I was't trying to be argumentative. I am probabally a year or so out before I fork over money for a new mx bike so I am honestly interested in what Suzuki is going to offer as well as Kawasaki in the future as for the 450/250 class. When you said you had heard or read the Suzuki was faster than the CRF, I wanted to know about it as I make plans for the future. My little brother has transworld so I will dig through the pile of mags next time i am a his house and look for it. And you are right, the YZ450F has one hell of a motor, almost scary which is why it does so freakin well in the YFZ Quad. Yamaha knows how to make power.
