Were the bike names changed or something?

[Eon]

So I recently decided to branch out, start testing other bikes....Got 100k credits, why not....Now I've read a lot of posts, most saying you want 250s cause they're best, a lot saying it's all about maximizing consistent momentum rather than top speed, with some saying top speed. Obviously variation.

I've seen mention of 2-stroke, "KTF", "RMZ", etc....now, maybe I'm just misunderstanding something but....all things I've seen of vids about RMZ...say Suzuki...there is no suzuki for me to buy....is it not in SP? Were names changed? Are not all bikes listed at start?

All I see is Blaze, Dakumoto, KTM, Shima, Takashi....with of course 125, 250, 350, 450, R, F, S, -2, and a few other extensions denoting model n stuff....

Having a real hard time trying to find a concise guide or summary of info explaining advantages of each stat vs other stat, which ones are best for which style of racing, etc....Hell I can't even figure out which bikes people are talking about cause names don't match up, and aside from a few with unique suffix markers, they all generally share one of 2 or 3 letters for type!

they only got the rights off KTM. Suzuki [yellow] Yamaha [blue] and Kawasaki [green] have been renamed due to copyright. Annoying as i now own a Kwak and not a KTM so i have to go with Dakumoto.....

Okay so yellow is suzuki when people talk about it, yamaha is blue, and kawasaki is the green colored ones for 250/450? And those colors remain consistent to which company they used to be?

They never "used to be" anything different. The game was released using fake brands for the bikes they represent. They were not changed after the game was release.
Blaze=Honda, Dakumoto=Kawasaki, Shima=Yamaha, Takashi=Suzuki. KTM is KTM, not sure what Daveon is taking about with "Kwak" unless he's in a country that the brand wasnt licensed for. It was just a cheaper route than to license the brand names.
As for settings, any brand will work for you. Theyre able to be set exactly the same and ive never noticed a difference. I personally stick with KTM. For Supercross I use a bit more acceleration but dont bother changing settings for Nationals unless I plan on doing a few races cause its not worth it to switch settings every other race.

I use 1 of 3 dif bikes (KTM, Dakumoto and the Blaze) depending on tracks....and I also adjust the tunning b4 every race, depending on track.

And every once and I wile, I mange to get a win :)
