[QUOTE="highmileage, post: 939732, member: 54462"] The manufacturers lately have really dropped the ball on a couple bikes and I will throw them all into one lump here because they are very similar: Suzuki DRZ250/400, former Honda XR250/400, KDX200/220, Yamaha TTR250, etc. All of these bikes were just truely an inexpensive ergo upgrade and a couple year old RM/YZ/CR/KX suspension away from really decent sales figures. Take a DRZ250/400 with a slight ergo upgrade and a throw a slightly modified RMZ250 suspension on it and near bliss and another 5 years of life. Honda XR250/400. Small ergo change ala the smaller XR's (Now CRF-F's), and a couple year old CRF suspension-wow!-just look at the japanese/Aussie/New Zealand XR's. Yamaha TTR 250-Just throw a WRF suspension on it baby!!! And finally the KDX200/220- Please Kawasaki just throw it in a now defunct KX125 chassis (U.S anyways...which strengthens my argument even more frankly as they still make the damn thing) with a slightly larger fuel capacity and you couldn't keep them on the showroom floor even after a $1K price increase. Hell you could buy left over RM/KX125's for $3995.00 damn near everywhere...so you can't tell me the $$$ don't work out. I really can't hang my hat on Kawasaki's overall offroad plan...they have actually dropped almost all offroad bikes over the last couple years...what plan??? At least Honda/Yamaha have off road offerings of some modern kind-CRF/X and WRF's. Suzuki at least is keeping the DRZ around for something in their line-up. Kawasaki would it really be that difficult to just manufacture something? I am starting to believe that the only manufacturers that are even trying to get it right for the U.S. off road crowd is KTM / Husky / Gas Gas...shameful actually. [/QUOTE]
