Mike Alessi just spent plenty of time FRONT & CENTER on my TV and I can't tell what BRAND HE'S RIDING!!!
Yes, -I- know it's an RMZ, an EXCELLENT bike; but, does the average person that tunes into SX? No, I don't mean you Moto-Kooks in here...ME included...I mean the "Average Joe or Jane" that the programming is aimed at.
Hey, Pat A. at ASMC...are you listening?
GET SOME YELLOW PLASTIC and Branding on Alessi!
Make sure EVERYONE knows that Zooks get Holeshots and lead races! Those bikes are damn good and they deserve the credit that they EARN by being such damn-good-machines!
I'm jus' sayin'...
Disclosure: I realize that my screen-name is Team Green and that ain't Very Zook; but, a Great Motorcycle is a Great Motorcycle: NO MATTER WHAT BRAND. I rode a Race prepped '11 Team R-Star Zook of Canada/RG3 suspended RMZ450 on the Beach in San Felipe last week...damn near ran it out of gas 'cause I didn't want to get off of it! Damn Nice and LIGHT feeling bike!

I'm sure yellow plastic or Suzuki branding is possible, but would require some significant level of support, rather than Genova doing it out of his own pocket.
Suzuki should kick some support his way to earn Yellow plastic.
Maybe Alessi has burnt that bridge? I don't know.
...that's if I were having to guess at what's goin' on...

Hey TGreen, how about your boy Clark? 2 in a row!
Good for MA for having some backbone.
Ive seen the Alessi's turn down sponsor money before. Tony's answer was "never mind the $3k, if its the best, we want to run it, keep your money"
Great thread TG.
Calling Pat out here ain't gonna do it.
It ain't like the 'old' day when you could tell at a glance/distance who was who and riding what fairy easily. Clearly all the sponsors want to have their products noticed but it would seem that comes with a down side to the viewers imo.
Didn't see this thinking when he had to ride the 350 though.
Pit Row
till then...derp derp derp
The bike makers are crying poor and rightfully so, they are in terms of bike sales. But with that said they are asking and getting teams to advertise and promote their brand with no financial support to the teams. Great deal for any business if you can get it.
I am not willing to work for free and I hope that the many other teams in the paddock will realize what MotoConcepts is trying to change, not just for our on sake but the other teams that are being taken advantage of also.
So that is why our bikes are our own look and scheme that doesn't represent any specific bike brand. Hence the MCR 450.
In response to Mx Culture post that our bikes are ugly, I must tell you how beautiful my bikes looked to me last night as we ripped three hole shots in one night in both the small and big bike class, against the beloved factory bikes and teams. In fact check the books, all five of our riders have pulled a hole shot on the MCR bike. That's not opinion,but fact.
Also, I don't think the bike is fugly at all. Looks killer to me.
Are you guys allowed to come up with you're own shaped plastics? That would be pretty sweet to see.
Thank you for giving us the straight truth.
Jake is killing it and I'm stoked for him right now.
Mike and Jeff have been looking good as well.
I didn't mean to bash the team as a whole or what you are doing, I just really don't like the look of the bikes.
I actually love the rig/pit shirts style of the grey/white/black theme and would love to see that on the bikes instead of gold/black/yellow/red/white that they currently are.
I just got to sick to my OPINION of the bikes' looks overall, and that will not affect your team or it's performance in any way.
