Re: RFZ frames

How do you mean?

If you mean availability of parts, then no
If you mean will they last longer before they need fixing, dunno as they are so new
If you mean will they give you 5 degrees more lean angle, unlikely
If you mean stiffer, possibly
If you mean will you be able to buy parts in 3 years time, will probably be a struggle as the trend (so far) always seems to return to crf/ttr/klx style
If you mean will they give you an edge, unlikely unless you gain more confidence from the chassis for some reason
If you mean do they look nice, that's a personal choice
If you mean will the frame and swinger survive a 100ft drop and be able to be riden away, ?????

Not being rude or anything dude but we are all pitbike mad on here, no one will know the answers to your question, we are just happy we can get out there and have fun.

When we break it, we fix it and carry on.

What's the point in the forum if you can't ask questions and research parts before parting hard earned money?

There is a difference in going out and having fun for something to break everytime orrrrr spend that bit extra on BETTER QUILITY parts......also depends on how hard you ride bro......I dnt do circles round a field .......better frame = better handling everytime ...just not really got the money to part for bbr d-link lxr etc and thanks for your useless post mate

Re: RFZ frames

Really sorry, thought it was another troll thread

I have no idea if the frame+swinger will make you faster and get you there more reliably, all else being equal. I do like the look of them tho

We have a m2r and monstermoto. The MM frame and swinger has been impeccable in everyway, except parts availability.

The M2R swinger wore the bearings out (10mm race) after 3 years. So got it machined to accept 14mm roller bearings instead, I do like modding
