Monday is Memorial day -_-.

It's good to see blue up front. Competition is good for the sport and not just between riders but between the manufacturers. I still would like to see more factory support out of Yamaha though. I think that's why people don't have a lot of sympathy for that company. They should be just as passionate about moto as the teams and riders and fans. it's kind of a slap in the face.

Yes. Because the rider matters very little. It was his YAMAHA that won it for him. WhistlingWhistlingWhistling

Of course. That is great news for them to be back upfront. It is still early in the c-ship, so PC, Geico & KTM should be there too, but these impressive lap times can raise the hopes.

Im sure that there are people who will dictate their brand decision on that performance. I don't blame them either. Everyone on a Yamaha looked pretty good yesterday

Yamaha's sell very well because they have the strongest presence in off-road racing outside of KTM. Go to any off-road race in the east and it's mostly KTM's but by far the next biggest brand is Yamaha.

It can't hurt....Pourcel running in the top10 and will only get stronger as the season progresses should also help sales.

Yamaha may not be the fastest every year but are always very durable and well built. What other manufacturer provides a warranty on a motocross bike? Now that Yamaha has three stellar riders to showcase just what they have created for 2014 will bring alot of people over to blue.

I have one as well and love the bike. Came off a honda and to me it's no comparison. They handle differently but they both handle well. The yamaha is stable and it turns really well. The motor on the other hand is leaps above the Honda. It would cost me about 1500 to get it on the same level as the yz. Thing ripps for a 250f

First year bike. Almost all first year models have issues.
