I am tired... but what are you stating?
Off-road <Moto X> or Street Bikes?

Yamaha has really stepped up their game in the moto x.
Suzuki is doing really well and Ricky Carmicheal road Suzuki and he was an absolute beast. Kawasaki absolutely blows imo.. They don't win nor do their bikes really stand up to par with other ones.

And to be honest, I am a hardcore bike junky. I know a lot about them and I follow a lot about them, but the last thing I rode was like a 1994 yamaha v-star or something along those lines.
Slow, loud, annoying and not an off - road bike :P
But I feel good knowing that I look like I at least know something about bikes

P.S: With street bikes:
Yamaha has just made the all new R6 which is the first 600 sports bike to hit 180+
Kawasaki has dropped to like 7th overall in the motogp standings.
Honda is upgrading their 600cc massively and coming out with the prototype of a 250cc street bike
Yamaha is also coming out with a 250cc street bike which would own any 250cc street bike on the market atm, besides MAYBE Aprilla.
Suzuki is ALSO making a 250cc street bike, but it doesn't look like its advancing that much, as of now they have a design, but no actual performance. Where as Yamaha and Honda have both design and performance, and Honda has the upper-hand, having 250cc street bikes before

Also, every year there is a test on the top street bikes.
Last year
1. Honda
2. Yamaha
3. Suzuki
4. Kawasaki
Its a track test, 4 professional riders, 4 top brand racing machines.
This year
1. Yamaha
2. Honda
3. Suzuki
4. Kawasaki
Also; the 125cc yamaha got a rating of 42/50 all around, where as the new aprilla and the kawasaki got a 41/50
Thats a BIGGGG deal...

Sorry if I sound cocky or put down Kawasaki, but honestly. Its all in the facts, and I wont deny that they have the nicest looking bikes, but they put it all into looks and nothing into performance.

Sory for rambled post, I am on like 6 hours of sleep LOL
I was referring to motocross bikes, it seems that ever since I was a kid though I've always heard Suzuki made the best bike performance wise and Kawasaki was right behind them, I've never heard much from Honda in the motocross world, only off-road. I don't keep up with any of the professionals though. Unless you plan on racing just go with whatever, its not gonna matter too much. I'd personally rather have a smallish off-road bike than a motocross bike. If I bought a new bike ever it would probably be a CRF230.
