Honda for me although my experience is pretty limited, i hated the crf250 05 although it was bulletproof, felt heavy and the motor didn't seem strong enough to make up for it
i didn't get along with the rm125 at all i couldn't pinpoint what exactly i just didn't like it
08 rmz450 is a fantastic bike to ride, feels like a 250f but with awesome linear power, however I'm afraid the complex elektrickery puts me off a little
the only ktm i have ridden is an exc 200 which has a nice motor but handling is a little...slow and the suspension felt horrible, maybe if i had taken the time to set up suspension, change clamp offset etc
In fact the only bike that i really like is my own 05 honda cr125 had no major problems with it(it will be my 3rd season on it in 09) it handles like a dream only problem is the motor lacks a little low down but if you keep it revving it's fine ( same with most two-strokes i suppose)
Hmm after my rant it seems i'm yet to find a bike i truly like, one which cleans itself would be good, or am i too fussy?

ps: Where is Tm or Aprillia a lot of people ride them around where i race and they must be the most trick looking bikes in the paddock, not sure on reliability though

LOL Dustin. You are slow aren't you? Do you remember the reviews the '97 CR250 got? And now all the company's are making twin spar frames...hmm...Sometimes it is necessary to take one step backwards to make two steps forward. Look for the rest of the bike companies to copy Honda soon. ;)

This is funny, you guys haven't even heard of copying until you've looked into the story of Maico. A brief list of the things they came up with.

- Rotary Valve
- Forward-mounted Shocks (Long-Travel Revolution!)
- Forks extended beyond axle (later became inverted)
- Monoshock (1975 I think!)

Give me more power.
Give me more handling.
Give me more style.
Give me more Maico.
