well, i doubt the frames are identical, and i doubt honda was the first to discover aluminum. also, the pancake piston is a great idea, why wouldnt the want to use it?

I think Suzuki came out with the first quad, and first 400 series sport quad with reverse and liq cooling.

Also the first to steal Carmichel away from Honda.

And I doubt Suzuki stole any ideas away from Honda who has ten copy right lawyers to per one design engineer ready to sue the world.

Maybe Honda should copy Suzuki's quad efforts because they sure didnt win any GNC championships.

If you think Suzuki got to where they are from copying honda, you're wrong. They have had that bike in r&d for a long time, and besides, it's time for something new.

the American public really is as ignorant as i thought. the big 5 Big bike producers bring something unique with each of their machines to the table. how is that the same?:rolleyes:

first off i aint no bike rider and too me they look the same...BUT....when i talk to guys that actually race these things they can tell you the difference between the brands and thier personal likes and dislikes.

i fall off all of them the same so it doesnt matter to me



:p

the only bikes that are the same are the kx and rmz 250fs... they are identical just like the z400 and kfx400 thats it...


yes there is many differnces and personally if it was me i would never buy this bike or the new yammys for one reason... new aluminum frames... it took honda like 7 years and 4 differnt generations of their frames to get it to the point they aren't 2 ridgid and beat the crap out of u... go ride a 1997 - 2002 or so honda cr and u'll understand what i'm saying...
