Our final word is derived from having testers rank the bikes as a whole. After all, you aren't buying just a transmission or set of suspension. Some will argue that a bike is only as good as its weakest link, but as far as cliches go, we prefer the idea that a machine should be considered as the sum of its parts. That being said, here's how our crew ranked each 2007 motocross bike as a race-ready machine. The number of first-place votes (out of four) are in parentheses.

Overall
1. Honda (4)
2. Suzuki
3. Kawasaki
4. Yamaha
