I've always been a Kawasaki or Suzuki guy. Regardless of what anyone says about the Suzuki, it's a really good bike. Get the suspension re-valved for your weight and get an exhaust. There's just something about the way a Suzuki's feels, it's instantly comfortable for any rider. Plus, yellow looks damn good.
The Gas Gas is a mystery to me...... $8000+ and no electronic engine my power settings, plus it is admittedly down on power for real racing when even the Suzuki has 3 power control settings in the high $7000's??
Man Suzuki use to kill it! Back when they had solid amatuer team Davi Millsaps, Nico Izzi, Josh Lictle, Eli Tomac, Ian Trettel, Jason Anderson. Pro's they had Ricky, TP 199, and more. It literally blows my mind they're almost irrelavent in the sport. You got a select few that use to love the brand and they try to tell you " They're still worth it" but in reality they are not. I don't care if the bike is $500 cheaper. By the time you do suspension and a pipe most of these stock models are still better. So you're better off spending the extra pennies just to get a different bike. Whoever is running Suzuki needs to retire and put someone in there that will make the brand grow and reclaim its good name back in racing. STEP IT UP SUZUKI!!
Why would they weigh the bikes without fuel? After watching a few shootouts on this channel i’m seeing some mental blunders that make absolutely no sense. I would not trust the judgement of these clowns when choosing a bike.
Honda gets bashed for everything motor-vehicle related, yet their products are always some of the most reliable pieces of machinery on the market. This is coming from a long time ktm rider.
@@guesswhat5811 I’ve always had reliability issues with Honda. Owned 2 strokes and 4 strokes but when there wasn’t any problems I preferred it more as a fun bike more than a serious bike

Ive been looking at those suzukis
100% agree
Agreed. I ride a Kawasaki but my second choice has always been Suzuki. Underrated.
i agree I love suzuki's i have an 2013 rmz 250 its the best 250 ive ever ridden
Just remember, these results are for the public, pro racers are all going to have very competitive bikes
Holy smokes that Suzuki makes a TON of torque. Who needs a diesel truck when your dirtbike makes 219 ft-lb??? lol
I was just going to say something about that
I wish Suzuki would focus more on racing, would love to see them actually compete with the other brands on and off track
40 years of shootouts. What a legend DBM.
I think you should add the Chinese hard core MX bikes.
They're really close to the original Japanese models.
do you mean like the ssr mx bikes?
Been a fan and owner of Husky and now TM Racing. Like the changes Husky made for 2021. Great Review of some nice rides!
I would pick the Suzuki 250 myself 👍 🇨🇦🇺🇸4ever
Excellent shootout thanks Dirt Bike
Are you going to do the 450 enduro shootout Btw Awsome work guys
12:23 219.28 lb-ft of torque @ 9330rpm. I think I know what bike I'll be getting next! 😂
God dangit now i have to get a yz250f thanks dirt bike mag😂😂
Honda for me

Suzuki comes with a power tuner you can buy for your phone, similar to Yamaha now
@@vlllntynn20 Right on, my point made even better👍Yeah the kick start is sort of a pain, but all else with the Suzuki is good with me!
SUZUKI 4 LIFE!!!
12:30 “it’s torquey and easy to ride...” 219 ftlbs of torque hahaha Suzuki is out here putting everything motorcycle and car manufacturer to shame 😂
best bang for your buck rmz 250 ..............
Great video!!
Keep them coming

A couple of tweaks and the Honda is easily the best bike for me
What constitutes a tall/short rider or a heavy/light rider?
I'm 6ft tall, and about 195lbs with riding gear on. Where do I sit in there?
Why don’t you make a 85cc shootout?
Thank you 👍😎👍
Why the tall seat on the Yamaha? Aren't they being tested stock?
The shorter seat is better. Probably tried helping other brands compete
Honda’s the best
@Logan Vass that’s great!
Where is tm ?
That's a lot of money for a 250
honda is the best
Agreed
I think Yamaha won I don’t remember
Bawp
Kawasaki should never have changed to aluminium frame..
Japanese bike and all of kTm with another body 😅

Getting famous off of comments day 330, so I can live the dream, live every day like it’s your last🤙
Lmao your comments not going famous
Good shootout. Surprised honda got second over. Media loves bashing that bike

@@chazzgonzalez1356 old hondas were not the greatest. 2018 and up they’re pretty solid
@@NickW90 Didn’t want to waste my money so I bought a Yamaha
@@chazzgonzalez1356 can’t go wrong with a yamaha. If it’s a 19-20 tho I’ve seen a lot of people have transmissions break tho
I don't like saying this but Yamaha are way to overrated. And my old yz250f I sold beacuse I didn't like the feal of it. Now I'm with Suzuki

Suzuki... Why you lying?! 🤔
