I'm not surprised Jesse.
JMc2 is a huge Brayton fan. Wait until those two get together!
JB will learn a few tricks and will have confidence through the roof.
Honda wants two young guns and now they got 'em.
JB is going to rip this season and I guarantee he will give props to his two years at JGR. They taught him a lot.
Stoked for the former Arenacrosser!!

There used to be a time every young racers dream was to ride for Factory Honda, I guess most vital guys skipped that part.

I think this is still true for most racers that know anything about mx history. Of course, as evidenced by Baggett's statements recently, not all of them know a whole lot. LOL. (No offense to Blake).

It seems kinda jinxed lately though. Honda will hire a GREAT racer (Millsaps, Grant, Canard) and they all just seem to have terrible luck. I would be PUMPED if i was in JB's shoes though. That is a beautiful machine. Smile

Oh, and btw, I am a Yamaha guy (always have been, always will be ese).

No I understand what you're saying, Brayton's a good pick but why not Barcia in the factory rig on a 450 ?? Or is he already there now and I missed the big announcement Wink could happen Woohoo

You can't have two #1 riders on any team. Costs way to much. if Canard gets hurt again then Barcia will be the guy and Canard will be looking for a ride. I am sure Honda loves Canard but not enough to pay him while he is hurt all the time.

Great guy, Great Bike but Brayton does not have the talent to be a player.

I'll make a bold prediction and say JB will win a race this year. He's been getting better and better every season. Looks good on the that bike. Definitely reminds me of Fonseca.

Brayton is a solid pick, represents sponsors well and is consistent. A little under the radar, he can podium with the field as stacked as it is. I think Honda will get him to that next level.

I bike can't take you to the next level. If that was the case then Honda would of won a title since RC left.

I'm still waiting for the right bike to come out so I can get to that next level. All I need is the right equipment to get there.

I have seen Justin on 80s and seen where he has come from. The kid works and bust his ass for everything he does. I would agree a 100% with the above statement that he is like a Ryan Dungey. He is self motivated and determined. Like Deringer said, with MC's guidance this kid is gonna turn more heads then ever. Mark my word he will be a podium threat week in and week out.

I like Brayton and hope he reaches his potential on the Honda. The bikes look sooo sweet. I think JB could be the "next guy" after the big five. Who knows, maybe he can even get in there with them.

With MC starting up his own team with LB, how much help do you think he'll still be giving to factory honda?

As a fan of his, that is an insult to me! How can you say he dosen't have the talent? He was one of only two guys to break the top five this year in SX. He also won two heats, and he was right up there in the top 6 almost every week. If you don't think that the honda team and bike will get him to the next level your nuts. I guess we will see who is right in January.

Wasn't Brayton top 5 in SX in 2010 and top 10 OA last season?
He has had some good results in the past.
One that stands out is when he won Bercy in 2009,some very fast guys on that list.
He kept himself together for the weekend and didn't give up!
King of Bercy 2009 results:
1. Justin Brayton (Yamaha)
2. James Stewart (Yamaha)
3. Greg Aranda (Kawasaki)
4. Marvin Musquin (KTM)
5. Fabien Izoird (Suzuki)
6. Josh Hill (Yamaha)
7. Nicky Wey (Kawasaki)
8. Matt Boni (Honda)
9. Christophe Martin (Husqvarna)
10. Davide degli Espoti (Suzuki)

Ya in 2010 he finished 5th in supercross. He won three supercross races in Europe in 2009. He finished 7th in 2009 MX which was the second year he raced outdoors and he first series on a 450, as well as winning the last moto of the season that year. He is getting better each year and I think this should be his break through year.

I like Brayton and hope he does really well with Honda, but young gun?

I think he'll be 28 before the SX series is half over.

If you weren't so unintelligent you'd realize that I meant that being on a factory team like Honda will take you to the next level in terms of confidence, program, and surrounding yourself with experienced people. (No disrespect JGR)

Highly unlikely Factory Honda send a rider over here when he has so much testing to do, adjusting to a new bike.

Expect to see a strong H&H presence at the later rounds Wink
