Factory 250 kawi. The struggle is real trying upload some photos with no signal. I'll try few more but other than that I'll post when home.



Hmm interesting.

Personally, I like the Zook. I'm glad they brought the blue back and hope the trend continues.

Agreed. While it's not revolutionary, I think it's a nice upgrade from the previous model, especially with the return to yellow and blue.

Looks like they went a lot thinner on the frame spars on the new RMZ. Anxious to hear how it handles.

Not a Factory 250, just Adam Sterry's UK practice bike with good suspension.

The new Zook looks like Yamaha and Suzuki had a very ugly baby. But who knows it may grow on me.

Here's what I got.
Unfortunately the racing was so good all day I didn't get chance to get to the pits until the end of the day! Managed to snag these quickly before they packed the bike away.

From what I can see, the engine looks unchanged?
Main changes appear to be frame, swingarm, linkage, rear brake system, radiators, bodywork, tank, seat.

The bike itself looks really good it's just the graphics that make it look abit gash. Doesn't really have that factory look to it. Hopefully they'll sort something before the season starts or are we thinking that's the finished bike for this year ?

The black radiator cover kills it , should've gone with yellow or maybe blue.

Well all I can say based on yesterday that Arminas Jasikonis is one fast mother and Strijbos has his work cut out this year if he wants to be top dog in yellow.

That guy has some balls as well, anybody over the back end see him sending it into the forest? Whoosh he has serious balls.

The query over how the bike looks and handles, well it's hard to say as these are tricked out as hell but that Suzuki team have their bikes dialled in big time, 250 and 450 were planted everywhere.

Agreed! He was phenomenal in qualifying, put in the fastest lap and just looked awesome. They certainly have that bike working well. Hawkstone is a gnarly track so if you can go fast round there then you definitely have your bike dialed.

He was hitting that triple into the forest harder than anyone else and throwing some style in as well, was awesome to watch.

It's really weird and totally uncomfortable looking at people all rugged up in coats and wool hats etc when we are melting away down under at 46*C (114.8*F). Fucking stupid heat over several days and really looking forward to winter again.

What happened to Simpson? He lines up for Moto 1 and then rolled round about a lap behind and wasn't seen again? didn't hear anything from jack in commentary

Shame for max how it played out in moto2 but he's got to be a contender in the gp's this year based on yesterday, typical hawkstone gnar

I've got a load of pics I'll load when at home , all taken from iPhone though but some half decent

Went down in turn one and got nailed by Lewis Gregory.

Came out for race 2 and was 8th behind Watson on his Enduro bike

Didn't come out for superfinal.
