Please explain further how you came to that conclusion.

No, no... let's take him seriously for a moment.

Honda is best, eh? So the nighthawk 250 is the best 250 around?

OK, not that seriously apparently. :laughing:
Ride it like you think owning it matters.

Honda and Yamaha's are best in manufacturing quality and the most reliable bikes, they use top of the line parts and equiptment on their bikes, from simple things like nuts and bolts to rims, tires, calipers shocks, the assembly of these bikes are perfect, perfect welds, perfect alinement of the frames. Suzuki and Kawasaki's are assembled cheap, not every of the same bike they make is assembled the same, they skimp on quality parts using the cheapest parts like nuts and bolts, rims, tires, calipers, shocks, the engines on the Honda's and the Yamaha's sound smooth and quiet cause they are engineered better. I own a Suzuki bike and I hate it, I made a mistake buying it, I purchaced a Suzuki ATV cause it was $1000 less expensive than the Yamaha I wanted, and I knew I was buying a lower quality ATV and I accept that. I have no beef with my Suzuki ATV im happy with it, it performs as I expected. Next time you guys go to a Suzuki or Kawasaki Dealer take a close look at 2 of the same bikes on the showroom floor, look at the welds around the neck and the crossbars at the rear of the frame, no 2 are lined up the same. Thats NOT quality in my book.

So what kind of proof do you have that they use cheap parts, besides of course the welds. You will never be able to make two welds look exactly the same. I personally also thinks Hondas are higher quality, and more reliable, but I don't think there is anything wrong with Kawasakis and Suzukis.

I didn't say anything about the welds, I said the different way the frames are lined up before they are welded together.

How do you know that suzuki and kawasaki frames are not as well alligned as honda yamaha? have you taken all four to a computrack and had them tested, or is it just a guess made by your superior ability to feel the input of the machine?

What is the grade of nuts and bolts used by All four manufacturers?

My suzuki engine is very quiet, so is my yamaha.

Im pretty sure kawasaki and suzuki are made on an assembly line by robots, so i am assuming that the crossbars and such are in the exact same spot. MAYBE a slight variation from factory to factory.
