2012 250f Shootout

[ktmsx114]

has anyone seen ronnie mac goon riding?

[mxrider695]

nothing can compare to a HONDA, CRF for life

[ProTaperr23]

I have an Rm85 right now but in the summer I am upgrading to a 2012 Crf250r :)

[4strokesruleme]

@ProTaperr23 i went from a 2007 rm 85 to the 2010 crf 250r and i love it nothing touches me

[UKzMUZIC]

Sooo I noticed you don't have a Husqvarna TC250 or TM do you not think people would of like to see them go against these ones?

[ChrisreadIRL]

all except ktm and suzuki

[MrKyle0948]

honda



[fishfingers123451]

my bike will be faster than thses because it has a multi coloured powerband. power everywhere n shit

[odzelagio]

honda was and will be best motocross bike !

[vMiracleBoy]

3:09 looks sick

[Gilston410]

Kawasakiiiiiiiii

[birdystyle420]

All u honda fans dont hold ur breath, ur bike got 2nd to last hahaha. Read the article in their mag or website. MXA is the best when it comes to real motocross testing

[Syrimobsessed]

Like for kawasaki :D

[plpwheeler]

Not much of a shootout, all they did was ride them around...

[viplycan]

everyone of us have yours favorite bike...for example i love yahama 2 stroke...but i think the best bike is KTM...

[BBRRAAAAAAPP]

@viplycan Love my YZ250, but I wish I could get a '12 250sx.

[viplycan]

@BBRRAAAAAAPP you have a very nice bike :)

[BBRRAAAAAAPP]

@viplycan Thanks :) She's an 07. Bought it brand new in Oct, 2011 for 4 grand Less than a brand new 2012 :)

[viplycan]

@BBRRAAAAAAPP why u change brand?? u not satisfied by your bike?? or you have a lot of money :P

[BBRRAAAAAAPP]

@viplycan Love my bike, But KTM is dominant now. they weigh 15lbs less, make 6hp more, and look/ride way nicer.

[viplycan]

@BBRRAAAAAAPP of course KTM now is the best and expansive bike it need more and more manutention but is a little price to pay for a great bike... i hope you can do this..good luck ;)

[BBRRAAAAAAPP]

@viplycan Not the most expensive any more. And they actually require the least Maintenance. That Jap bikes are a joke. EFI is a joke. All of this new technology is made JUST so you have to fork out more and more money on rebuild. Oh, and that reminds me, you have to rebuild bikes more often now. 2 strokes are the way to go.

[benjy2k10]

HONDA!



[JSZstudios]

All the 250 4-stokes the past couple years are bitch'n... The only thing holding Yamaha back is the lack of EFI.

The SX Lite main events have all looked like a Honda test track this year... 50+% Honda... Yes, I own a CRF250 ^_^

[SatterRacing175]

Honda may not be the fastest but the best all around

[BBRRAAAAAAPP]

KTM is the best bike. They use a chromoly frame, hydraulic clutch, Brembo brakes, have the best valve train, and it even has push button start! They need to compare the YZ250 and the 250SX. That would be awesome. 250 2 strokes are the best bikes there are. Light, fast, cheap, fun, and easy to maintain. What else could you ask for?

[kawibbyrule]

@BBRRAAAAAAPP i think kawasaki should start making the 2 STROKES AGAIN matter of fact they all should start making them again!!!!!!

[BBRRAAAAAAPP]

@kawibbyrule Yep. I heard somewhere that they are all considering it, as long as the market wants them. Of course we all want 2 strokes again!

[kawibbyrule]

@BBRRAAAAAAPP well they better! if they made them EVEN IN the steal frames id still buy them but if they went the extra little bit and made AF modles id buy one nomadder what!

[BBRRAAAAAAPP]

@kawibbyrule Steel (chromoly) frames are better. More flex (more traction), lighter, and less bulky. I wish japan would catch up with KTM. Everyone is brainwashed into thinking the jap bikes are the best. They aren't.

[kawibbyrule]

@BBRRAAAAAAPP well thats more of an oppion i personally love the weight and looks of the AF's and personally i rode my kx 250 with the steel frame and then there was a guy at the trackwith a 2007 engine in a 2009 kx 250f frame it was insainly light weight compared to my bike and cornered and soaked up the bumps 10 THOUSAND% better

[BBRRAAAAAAPP]

@kawibbyrule Thats because of the frame geometry and suspension components.... Ride a european bike with a chromo frame (so any euro bike for that matter) and you will see.

[kawibbyrule]

@BBRRAAAAAAPP well if you go back through and look at some of my video s I have had KTM's and my buddy has TM's that if im lucky enough i can ride but i understand what your saying

[BBRRAAAAAAPP]

@kawibbyrule TM's are also very nice bikes. They make the BEST 2 strokes. But most people can't afford them.

[kawibbyrule]

@BBRRAAAAAAPP I WILL SECOND YOU ON THAT I LOVE HIS BIKE BUT NEVER!!!!!!!! WOULD WANT TO PAY FOR PARTS FOR THEM

[BBRRAAAAAAPP]

@kawibbyrule They aren't even close to expensive... If you have a KTM dealer in your area your set. I have a Husaberg too (KTM) and it's no more expensive than my YZ for parts.

[kawibbyrule]

@BBRRAAAAAAPP that just it the closest KTM dealer is 2 to 3 hours away thats why i had to sell my KTM's we have a honda yamaha dealer kawasaki suzki and EVEN a ATK DEALER!!!!!! but they didnt deal with KTMs and by time i went to the ktm dealer they would charge alot more than what the parts were worth

[BBRRAAAAAAPP]

@kawibbyrule well there ya go. In canada they arent expensive for parts.

[kawibbyrule]

@BBRRAAAAAAPP yeah see your in canada im in wisconsin lol little diffrence there

[MastaFRO1]

awesome vid!

[Gariveau]

I'd rather the Kawasaki.

[UsNBlindfireOG]

@Gariveau you are compleatly correct the kx 250f is the best bike out there rite now in the 250 class

[MXcrosser3000]

suzuki = best bike

[TwofiddyFourstroke]

honda baby wooo i got a 09crf250

[honda12racingcbr]

Honda

[iModestep]

SUZUKI!

[crfr150mx]

honda king all time

[JahDude501]

there is no best bike. thats all about the rider all the wayyyyy baby

[motokidd222]

what happend to honda? 1980's and 90's they were a dynasty, now there bikes are horible, gonna have to say its all kawi

[kawikid107]

@motokidd222 idk but i think cause its american made it was a favorite then japanese bikes came or somethin lol

[number1hondapro]

where is the real test and the winner what a joke.

[TheBrodism]

KTM wuudup

[doctorknockers00]

what is the best 250?

[brandon333ist]

Honda

[TheKingHits]

Honda all the way

[kawikid107]

@TheKingHits even tho they lost to yamaha this year??

[BlAdEzRoD123]

Nah suzuki for the world!

[thormx238]

just got the new 2012 kawi 250f love it so much, power is unreal on the new bike

[314isabeast]

@thormx238 yeah same man its unreal, AND SO LIGHT!!

[thormx238]

@314isabeast yeah i went from a 06 yamaha to the kawi and it was night and day and yeah super light i couldn't believe it

[314isabeast]

Kawasaki....no competition

[donbanshee]

kawasaki # 1 all the time



[DecimateModz]

yam are brilliant

[TheYamahaPilot125]

its more about the rider. the yamaha and kawi should be up front though

[raid9dirtbiking]

KAWASAKI WON THE 250 AND 450 SHOOT OUT FOR 2012 NUFF SAID!

[atvrider43]

If you go 250 go with a 2 stroke, light and fast

[kawikid107]

@atvrider43 those are equal to a 450 125 is equal to a 250 '-'

[mw3warpig]

no bike sounds???

[kawi297]

I ride a 2011 kawi 250f and love it, but the suzuki won last year for the 250's and the Kawi won for the 450's

[roflcopterisreal]

couldnt find a yellow stand?

[kawikid107]

@roflcopterisreal haha ikr

[coldkiller27]

the suzuki rmz 250 is the best bike of the year

[kawikid107]

@coldkiller27 no it was kawi

[TeoZMuff313]

@kawikid107 No it was Suzuki and KTM certainly wasn't last.

[joshua41145]

@kawikid107 wrong hondas the best

[ps3gamer2441]

those top comments are wrong in dirt bike magazine the suzuki rmz 250 won for a second year in a row

[MxQuestion572]

@ps3gamer2441 No. last year (2011) the kawasaki won. for 2012 im not sure but i no for sure suzuki didn't win because it didn't have anything changed from 2011. Kawasaki has duel injection for 2012 and the other bikes didn't get much. So i bet the kawi won.

[ps3gamer2441]

@MxQuestion572 Well i don't know what magazine you're reading but anyways, i am sure they are both great bikes.

[MxQuestion572]

@ps3gamer2441 I read them all i guess you were reading moto usa that's the only shootout that suzuki won.

[corndog814]

Really a great shootout video, thanks so much for including the word 'shootout' in the title. All the details about each bike, which have been clearly explained in this video, will undoubtedly affect my purchase decision.

[hurn93]

only bikes i can ride is kawasaki and ktms dont know why

[crfrider909CA]

there all great bikes i use to have a crf witch was a great bike now i have a 2011 kx250f and its awsome and my brother has a 12 yz250f and let me tell u that thing is pretty ktm's suck and so does suzuki

[kawikid107]

@crfrider909CA whoa there suck is a strong word! lol jk

[kawikid107]

@crfrider909CA so i know u bought a kawi but is the yami feel pretty close to the kawi?? just wonderin

[FiftyCalHeadshot]

@crfrider909CA

lol i don't agree

the only bike that is less good is the ktm because it's not as loyal as the rest.

Tha yamaha isn't that good because it lacks throttle response compared to the other bikes. I rode a honda and i ride a suzuki now, it corners way better than the honda, the kawi are good bikes though

[carlettofurioso]

Ma avete presente che bella pista.....datemi anche la moto piu scarsa che mi diverto na cifra!

[kx250fmotocross]

Kawasaki all the way.

[colethemole54]

To be honest, I a ktm guy and have been since 1981. I have 6 ktms and a kawasaki. I've owned them all except Suzuki and I honestly love them all. You favor what you buy. You buy a honda, everything else is junk etc. There all great bikes, they are special in there own ways lol

[BbXh0BbIes]

with every bike now it's just about the colour there are really not that big of a difference between the lowest ranked bike or the highest ranked bike.. and KTM just lower your prices and more people will buy your bike

[alexini5]

Also ktm 250 are so bad ...you should say that when you see world mx champioship when the 250sxf destroys your beloved dirt bikes.....speak with your mind pls...not with what you have in your garage...

[GoProOrGoHome1]

Would love to hear the sound of the BIKES instead of this shitty "music".

[huisman111]

im not gona lie, now day's all bikes are good... you cant say one brand sucks because their all great bikes, i like kawi just because of the dual fuel injection, but i'd ride any other bike if i had to !

[16MEDIA16]

i road alsmost all the new 2012 bike and yamaha and ktm are the best fitting bikes and the ktm is one of the best ever, it has great power

[MotocrossRacer4]

Elevator music......what the heck?!?

[yamaha188zt]

if yamaha dual fuel injected theirs it would be the best ever!!!!

[tfr95]

No husky :(

[tymotoboy53]

lol it's the power rangers motocross!

[nsborland]

@Ethanatencio Your a dipshit bro, it doesn't matter if your 14 years 5'5 155 pounds it only matters that you sir can't ride one cause your fucking to plain stupid to even comprehend a clutching system let alone tell the difference between any of these bikes which brings me to my main question ... Why the fuck are you on here ? You should be looking up " dirtbiking for idiots "

[vasquez228]

how did Kawasaki not win last year's shoot out with their SFF? Kawasaki rules!

[dbracr27]

@vasquez228 it was the first year with sff, so its not like they've had years of RnD. They won this year probably mainly because of a more devoloped sff.

[vasquez228]

@dbracr27 Also, the second injector has a lot to do with it. But I know for a fact that a couple of motorcycle magazines named it 2011 champ too. Regardless, I don't think the Suzuki should've been #1 last year, I don't remember it being in the top 3 on those other shoot outs I'm talking about.

[dbracr27]

@vasquez228 yeah, i know mx-usa posted the crf as their #1. I don't know what all they base their "points" off of. But to me its just personal preferance and what new innovations and improvements they have.

[vasquez228]

@dbracr27 Yea I've gotta agree with that, it usually comes down to one's own biased opinion. Clearly, mine is towards Kawasaki ; )

[jasonbonnici05]

i want mmmph aaaa all of em .. i wish

[RoostHD]

ORANGE WIN

[SLKmx24]

i personally like kawi

[alexhannah333]

All of you giving us the results are idiots.

You cant say which bike is better, Its just your personal Preference.

[joshua41145]

@alexhannah333 no ur the idiot. and i can say which bike is better, honda

[TheEathen]

I was there!

[Productions126]

Here was the results for this shootout: Thumbs up so everyone can see.

1.) Kawasaki

2.) Suzuki

3.) Yamaha

4.) Honda

5.) KTM

[joshua41145]

@Productions126 um u kinda messed up thier bro its

1.) Honda

2.) Kawasaki

3.) Suzuki

4.) Yamaha

5.) KTM

[Productions126]

@joshua41145 Are you kidding me? I have the issue!

[joshua41145]

@Productions126 trust me that issue lied to you

[Productions126]

@joshua41145 Nope, Honda blows. End of story.

[joshua41145]

@Productions126 noooooo, kawasaki blows dickface

[Productions126]

@joshua41145 Yeah your right. They did not win a supercross championship and 2 motocross championships. They also didn't just dominate every amateur event this year. They didn't win the MXA or twmx shootout. Your so right. They suck ass they should just stop making bikes.

[joshua41145]

@Productions126 dude stop talking okay ur breath smells like DICK from u sucking kawasaki, honda is better WAY better

[kawikid107]

@joshua41145 wow based on your opinion

[kawikid107]

@kawikid107 except ktm

[liamgalyer]

@Productions126 honda should be 1st

[Productions126]

@liamgalyer Noooo way!

[liamgalyer]

@Productions126 yeah by far

[joshua41145]

@liamgalyer amen brother

[liamgalyer]

@joshua41145 lol

[gdogrider369]

@Productions126 Then why was honda in 1st????

[Productions126]

@gdogrider369 What do you mean "first?"

[joshua41145]

@gdogrider369 because honda is the best, nuff said

[kawikid107]

@joshua41145 but i heard that the 2010 -2011's need new rings every 15 hours or they blow up

[joshua41145]

@kawikid107 u heard wrong my friend cause i have a 2011 crf250r and ive never had to buy a new ring

[kawikid107]

@joshua41145 so compared to a suzuki, honda is more reliable

[joshua41145]

@kawikid107 yes sir

[huisman111]

@Productions126 kawi and KTM are both tied for best bike of the year

[kawikid107]

@Productions126 no way yamaha beat honda

[Productions126]

@kawikid107 They did in MXA.

[joshua41145]

@kawikid107 are you high thier is NO way yamaha is better than honda. the only reason people even think about yamaha is because of james stewart and that it

[kawikid107]

@joshua41145 i know thats what i kinda said

[fluffythydestroyer]

@joshua41145 actually the reason people think about yamaha is because they make the best 250 2 stroke ever

[joshua41145]

@fluffythydestroyer are you high, their 250s are crap, nuff said

[12sem12]

@Productions126 only reason ktm came last was because it weighed more than the other bikes because of the electric start when it shouldof came in first because when everyone else stalls on there jap bikes in corners and such they'll be kickin the shit outof them trying to get them to start when i can just start er up with a quick zing :)

[Productions126]

@12sem12 No, Katoom came in last because it had the worst motor of the bunch. It was the slowest. The suspension had severe midstroke harshness. It's also the heaviest as mentioned.

[12sem12]

@Productions126 it was about 3hp less than the kawi if im not mistaken and that can easily be made to have the same power with an aftermarket exhaust.

[Productions126]

@12sem12 4hp. And yes, 2 hp max can be made up with an aftermarket exhaust.

[alexini5]

@Productions126 i can see

1) Kawasaki

2) Suzuki

3) KTM

4) Yamaha

5) Honda

the fact you don't like ktm or you like honda ....does make these two good or bad ...wake up...

[Chagoredbull]

@Productions126 the crf 250 r is the bike of the year

[Productions126]

@Chagoredbull Hondas don't even compare to them Kawis and Suzukis.

[kawikid107]

@Productions126 THEY ARE ALL GOOD!!!! you can be good rider on a kawi, then you could be even faster on a KTM!! it all depends on how you feel on the bike, member like everyone says 50% bike 50% rider

[sethslayer1]

how was that a shootout?

[Essendon060]

I love suzuki so much, But who ever's in charge at suzuki better start fucking doing something. Since 2010 they have done fuck all. They've done the graphics and made the throttle body bigger and changed the gearing in 2011, For 2 years theyve done nothing to a large degree, What the fuck do they do all year, Who's the bloke researching shit, He should be sacked. Be some fat cunt that always is late to work and leaves for macca's every lunch.

[AAZNBOI808]

Honda for life !

[killabrozbaby]

Kawi 4 life!

[Clayschreiner]
