I wouldn't mind if the european 2 Strokes would take over.
Heck, every major /scramble/offroad/enduro event is beiing won by a 250 or 300 KTM Husaberg or GasGas.
But it would suprise many people in the end, because the no.1 player in the buisines still keeps
preaching this overweight 4 stroke stuff...
Anyways, rumours are rumours. And i would really like to see Honda eating their own words.
These days, i believe it as soon when i see it!

I still say, when Donkeys fly.  But Honda loves to win.

Honda has always been about being #1 no matter what. I believe they would eat crow everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner to be at the top of the sales chart again. Especialy since new 4 stroke sales are plummeting. I think they might reintroduce the CR line with an X model as well. And with all the hope in my little black heart, Suzuki and Kawasaki will follow suit with revamped RM, KX ,RMZ and KDX models.

That would be awesome indeed!
For all of the big 4 to make a 2 stroke woods/offroad bike! And 2 stroke MX line up.

Personally, I've considered KTM a part of the big# for a while now.

So I guess Husky is part of that too then? I can't remember, are they built now buy KTM?  Then all we need is gas gas and TM to start kicking butt and no need for Jap bikes anymore.

No, husky is owned by BMW. AMA has set it up for mainly jap bikes(Monkey see, Monkey buy), so run any European bike other than KTM, and its considered cheating.  Kind of like showing up at a nascar race with a long body Porsche..

not true, Suzuki has a worse track record with a full 30 years of sucking vs. Kawasaki with just 10 years...

Tri-Z 250, ATC250R, Tecate 250, and whats missing?
YZ/IT490, WR500, CR500, KX500, and whats missing?
TRX250R = Win
Banshee = Win
KXT 250R = Fail-ish
LT250R = Fail
LT500R = Fail

Yeah, my people say its suzuki.  Sales have been horrible, maybe why they are looking at 2 strokes?  I always wondered why the LT500R failed, That had to be a freakin monster. LOL.  I want a Banshee motor to put in a street bike.
