I'm outing myself as a closet MXA reader... But they've had some good stuff going up on their website recently..
This one has some stuff from Web in Japan and a tour of the Yamaha museum. Pretty bitching.
Also listening to Matthes and Payton the other day, I'm already excited about Yamaha restoring all of MC's YZ250s. Hopefully they make a big deal out of it and we get to see some trickness!

The frame on the 400 prototype is so strange...
"Everyone had to where helmet, including the paramedics."
And yeah that whole thing just looks so crazy and complicated.

Except Nagl and Bobryshev have been using that shock for 2 seasons now.
Awesome!!!
I've been a subscriber for many years. And I think Jody is an arrogant ass. So I really don't read his bullshit.
But I do love the articles, bike tests and product reviews. I also like the bike set up tips.
They are very thorough testing bikes.
I've still got the July 2011 issue I was reading on the shitter the morning my dad passed away.
This wasn't in that issue but always thought it was a pretty good read.

Glad my dad was there with me all the way.
Cheers for the link Crush.
"For 1997, Yamaha approached Henry with the idea of riding their prototype YZM400 four-stroke in competition. He accepted the offer. While he raced and led the early part of the 1997 Supercross season on a YZ250, Henry suffered a hand injury that forced him to withdraw during the middle of the series. He came back riding the four-stroke full time, and posted top-5 finishes at the first few Nationals, which was unprecedented for a four-stroke machine. Henry raced the bike at the final Supercross in Las Vegas, Nevada, and won the race in the prototype bike's first and only start. Tragedy would strike Henry yet again that summer, as he suffered two broken wrists at Budds Creek, mere feet away from the jump where he had his earlier injury. But Henry would battle back again.
"Henry would race the production version of the prototype four-stroke, the YZ400F, for 1998. This is the machine that started the four-stroke revolution in motocross. He battled through a strong but unspectacular supercross season where he finished 7th overall. The outdoor season would be Henry's chance to show the bike's true capabilities. After a win at his home track of Southwick, Henry followed up with a triumphant win in Budds Creek, the track that broke his arms and back. He would go on to defeat Jeff Emig, Jeremy McGrath, Ezra Lusk, Kevin Windham, Mickael Pichon, and Greg Albertyn, earning five overall wins in one of the most competitive seasons ever to take the 1998 250cc National Championship at Broome Tioga Sports Center. link Broome-Tiogs Sports Center He accomplished this with one whole round left."
