It'll be interesting to see how she does. Suzuki has done a nice job on their 4 strokes so far, so it ought to be good.

Anybody know if they are gonna put out a 450 also??

But still it's looking good.

Are Kawasaki developing anything in the thumper region??

[Woody_393]

I'm not sure that the RMZ is actually made by Suzuki. Since Kawi and Suzuki, are in a joint venture (or whatever you want to call it) they have been sharing all sorts of stuff, and I think the RMZ/KXF (or whatever Kawi calls theirs) fall into this category.

In this case I believe the 250 stoker is made by Kawi, which is appearent when you take a closer look at the Perimeter frame and engine cover, which are both signature Kawasaki stuff.

Yes, they will have a 450, but when is the question???

[Woody_393]

Actually after reading the article, I was half right. The engine is Suzuki, but done at the Kawi plant, which would explain the engine cover.

Looks like it will be pretty cool.

The head on that sucker looks darn near a replica of my yzf!!

[Woody_393]

Yes, it does.

Looks like a conterder, but I like the Kawie better
The head does look a lot like the Yammie head, but this motor is a 4 valve where the Yamaha is a 5.
