IF I WAS BUYING A LAWNMOWER ID CONSIDER A HONDA BUT OTHERWISE ID BY FROM A BRAND THAT SPECIALIZES IN BIKES-KAWI OR YAMAHA FOR BETER SUSPENSION OR THE KTM FOR UNEQUALED POWER.

If i was going to buy anything i would pick a company that at least made a lawnmower. Not a company that also made pianos and recorders.lol i'm just kidding no need to call in the infantry

Well to tell you my oppinion, is that suzuki went a little down hill on there MX bikes and focused on there youth bikes a little bit more, BUt now they are starting to catch up

My brother has a 2000 RM250 and it rips. Very different power band than my honda, way smoother but i like the "hairy" snap of the honda. I think its pretty hard to beat a honda 2 stroke. I'm switchin to kawasaki and sellin the honda due to the dealership.

4-STROKE baby all the way, I used to run a cr250, cr450, rm250, yz125 and the last 2 where 4-STROKE CRF450 and my baby right now CRF250X nice and light for the tight and steep stuff.
nice and clean as well.
and of course Honda is good stuff

Honda has abandoned Canada. No longer in any dealerships. Have fun getting parts when you need them.

Stay away from Honda!!!

man u can get honda parts cheap and easy off the internet out of the states and its cheaper then getting it from the dealerships. planethonda.com, bikebandit.com, etc. thats where i got some of my parts anyway. but usally u don't need parts cuz honda is so reliable (for me anyways)

Honda has not abondend canada.. What they have done is consolidated alot of things.. Now a honda dealership will have ALL honmda products from cars to generators.. AND that includes bikes.. ASnd in my personall opinion i would most definitely go with honda.. I worked at a honda dealership for like 9yrs and owned a few.. There aint nobody that builds a motor like a honda.. But his is just my two cents..
