Motocross racers, which bike would you choose?

Question

In your opinion, which bike is better?

A 2007 Kawasaki KX250F

or

A 2008 Yamaha YZF250?

Both bikes are brand new.

Oh, and while I'm at it, does anyone have Alpinestars Tech 7's? How do you like them?

And how do you feel about this gear, lol. :]

Answer 1

As to which bike you would purchase would depend upon how much they are going to set you back.  The 2007 kx250f would hopefully be a lot cheaper as even though it is new it is still an older model so resale value would not be as great.  So I would purchase the one that offered the best gains keeping in mind the fact that as soon as you ride the 2007 model it is not going to give you as much back if you sell it.

My son has Alpinestar Tech 10 but says he is going to get Tech 8's next time as they wear a little better.  But I don't know much about the Tech 7's.

Have purchase through btosports a number of times and found them very reliable.  The gear looks good too.

Answer 2

The kawi is much better, the 2008 is out and it won best bike in the 250class.

Answer 3

I would get the 07 Kawasaki. I have one I ride and race for supermoto and I absolutely love it! I've ridden all the other bikes out there and the kawi is best by far!

I'm sponsored by Kawasaki as well as Alpinestars. And Tech 7's rock!
