what do u guys have to say about the imports and there relationship with moto/supercross right now?

The Japanese imports rule SX. The only rider I can think of in recent history to do fairly well on a non-jap bike was Kenny B, and his damn KTM broke in half in the middle of a race one time.

yea KTM makes a nice bike i wish they offered it as a program or sum of the Italian bikes. Kawi is lookin really hot latelly i love there 07 450 and 250

4 out of 5 of my riding buddies have Yamaha's including me. the other one is a honda. I say Yamaha is dominating. look at there line up. it is packed it suits everyones needs.

id say yamaha too, they got something for everyone, banshee, yfz450, and raptor 700, are the 3 most common quads definatly, at leaast where i have ridden thats mainly what u see, those 700 raptors are everywhere now too

I agree with Yamaha in the quads section for sure. My previous comments were directed towards MX bikes since that's where most of the technology is developed.

Honda is the leader in MX bikes, but Yamaha is right behind them. All of my friends either have honda's or yamaha's now, nothing else. We all ride 450s and i have to say i think the hondas still alittle ahead of the game. their always alittle faster and they dont wear you out as fast. theirs alot less arm pump.

I heard something interesting about suzuki today, when u go buy a bike u can sign up or sumthing were u can be Joe shcmoe and if u enter a factory race and place u will get back from suzuki like a sponsorship, i dont kno all the details but it sounded pretty cool, thought id throw that out yea i think im gonna stay with Yamaha and Honda try to get them back on top of the game again. With Kawasaki yea i see all there stuff at races but i think its just a Glamour thing trying to sell there product which all they have is decent dirtbikes and street, there quads suck..

They have better riders.

They have better riders.

To further my point look at the desert riders. Try beating a Honda bike out there.

[FasterThanU90]

yea true on the desert, i want to see Reed bust sum wins that would be cool. I was looking at the new yz450f :cool: all white streamline looking... sweeeeeet all the new Raptors are going fuel injection, alot of parts stuffed into those frames now CV carb and all sorts..
