So the 125 got the update and the 300/250 remain the same except for a rotor and whoooopdido finally rubber mounted bars? Read somewhere that the 250/300 are supposed to get the big updates in 2017, again another year of rumors of direct injection... :cry: Seems odd they would update the 125 before the 250 however? I'm guessing the schoolboy class is larger then the 250 2 smoke class? Can't blame them, at 6'5 I absolutely LOVE riding a onetwofive

That baffles me as well. I think you must be right about big updates to the bigger two strokes, and I do hope they end up making a DI two stroke. I think everyone wants to go back to two strokes, they just can't figure out how to make it not look like they made a mistake in going to four strokes in the first place. With DI they can say that new technology suddenly made the two stroke so much better than the four stroke, making the switch necessary to keep the best technology in the rider's hands.

Amazing how ktm can bring 8 new bikes out in a year , kawi only got there brand new 450 , the 250f gets the big changes for 17 model and they have a new klx 450 fuel injected on its way , the local dealer keeps telling me about the 300 -350 2 stroke di bike and says he will keep me up to date as news comes in , so we will see , fingers crossed?

Dirt Rider test of the new 125/150 two smokers. They seem impressed with the new engines and the bikes as a whole.

Seems like Cycle News was impressed as well. It's nice to see someone advancing two stroke technology and keeping it relevant.

Anything that has Motorrad in it must be taken with a grain of salt :-)

hehehe :lol:

well when mx3 class was swapped out with emx300 for two strokes only, ktm jumped onboard quikly, i was hoping kawasaki would se this as a oppertunity to bring back a modes 300 two stroke (a old 2008 mod with bigbore stroker kit?) would be fairly simple for kawasaki to do but gues not :| anyone else hope that kawasaki will bring a competitor to the 300 class?
-
There were a few YZs out there with 300 kits as well.

yep even the italians with their tm 300's

At least TM sell a 300 from factory.

There are lots of manufacturers with factory 300cc two stroke... There are more with 300s then without, Beta, Gas Gas, TM, Fantic, KTM, Husqvarna (bmw and KTM version) and I am sure there are some i'm forgetting. The 300 is an outstanding motor, but I feel that until there is a series letting 300cc+ two strokes race in the 450f class the big 4 have no reason for them, being there MX/SX based. IF the big 4 (honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Zuki cared about us off-road guys we would have at least one other off-road ready bike to pick from than the crf450x and wr450... Yes the yz250fx an 250x are making there way into the world but still can not compare to the options you get for European off-road bikes.
Not trying to be a KTM or European fan boy but Japan no longer makes a bike that suits what I need. Except the super tenere, I really want one of those :-D

but are thoose mx purpose bikes or enduro?

I like the orange frames so much better. When you're already the lightest bike, and you can drop another 3 lbs without a lot of work, that's pretty impressive. They're supposed to be redoing the 250 SX as well. I can't wait to see what they do to that bike.
-
their exhausts looks more and more like two stroke ones :roll:
