Yeah the new Honda is running KYB which seems strange when Honda own Showa but i think the latest KYB is a little better than Showa. I guess bike sales is more important to Honda.

Yamaha has sold their interest in Ohlins back to Sweden last year and the company is undergoing some changes as we speak.

I believe Yamaha YZ's ran showa forks in 1985.
