I thought MC started or was a part of Supercross.com? Might explain sponsorship

I like it BUT I'm a little shocked with the title sponsor and a look like that with a factory bike especially a factory Honda. I didn't see that coming at all.. supercross.com? ...very interesting. For those calling for black rims you are on crack, give it up that's so overplayed gold rims would look sweet! So much better ....it looks like a plain motoworld bike that's a Honda and its surprising to see that with such a basic lookimg bike I imagine they'll pick up sponsors along the way sx.com can't have that kind of money but smart marketing decision to the average man which would direct them exactly to that website given the name of the sport should work out pretty well for them I figured with mcgraths connection we would see dc shoes on there is well doesn't look like that much effort at the last minute I hope the team doesn't fold halfway through the season :\ still they have more sponsors than factory honda does Haha

I think any sponsor in this economy is welcomed.

Anyways.....surprising about the SX.com decals there. I didn't know that website was into sponsoring anyone like that. In fact , I didn't know they were into the "sponsoring business" at all? Blink Blink
I didn't know they were still in business

Not a fan. Would have been much sicker with white instead of black as in the pic, a little bit Honda Martin style...

LB dont like black rims........just ask Stew
DV said on our french board that MotoConcepts didn't used black rims cause they wear out to quickly with tire tests and stuff and they couldn't afford to change them too often... Don't know about L&M though...

Good, but would be so much better with black rims IMO.

so is this supercross only?

are they really doing the outdoors with supercross.com as a sponsor?

can supercross.com really have the cash to fund a team for even the sx series?

just who is throwing (losing) money at this?

I bet they couldn't get a big sponsor and that was a last minute deal. That would explain the late intro. Hopefully they get something lined up for next year or this may be a one year deal.

ugly. I'm normally a fan of silver rims on Hondas, but that needs something to make it look like it didn't come out of the 90s

RJ is the big name behind supercross.com, not MX. I believe MC was involved at some point with Supercrossking.com.

I am really surprised by that move too. There must be a big plan somewhere behind this move by sx.com, I'm surprised San Manuels are not on the bike yet, I would have thought they were the main financial backers for LB.

Like many wrote, it's a bit disappointing to see LB and MC didn't succeed to bring a big, new, outside-industry sponsor. Makes you appreciate the job done by the guys working for outfits like team two two or JGR.

The shroud's graphic are a bit meh, but seem to have some space still available for another big name sponsor.

Wrong choice if you ask me...

To me the bike looks ok. I'll assume that Honda is dictating fender and rim colors. What I am surprised to see is the amateur bike photo and lack of pit shirts on LB, MC and Shorty......... looks low budget to me.

I agree with this. Coming together the last minute before A1.
