Remember awhile ago a bunch of people including TFS said that they were changing 450's to 350's and even after showing proof the OEMS would not make them they still defended it well where are these 350's and when are they coming out?
When nascar, drag racing, even saturday night stock car racing, etc, decides to race sub 95db vehicles then the US will start caring about sub 95db motocross bikes.
The big 4 sell at least 3 times more mx bikes in the us vs the rest of the world. If you listen closely you can still hear the japenese engineers laughing at the idea of a 350.

$189.95 - $239.95
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Outdoors
Lites - 250f
MX - 350f
Open - 450f - Would be a good support class for privateers w/o the dough to run highly modded bikes like the factories and still be able to prove themselves also good in case they are too big for a 250f
outdoors 350f
and run everyone in one big class
Indoors

"THE RMZ IS BACK, AND IT'S SHRIMPIER AND SLOWER!"
Meh.....
kinda like we should do with anyone who wants the 350s
oh wait...TFS never said that...just like he said he never said the other shit. afuckingmazing...
Dont bring this up anymore or he will park his stinky RV out in front of my house again.
Pit Row
A regular ruff, tuff cream puff.
I guess a needing more than porting and high comp piston on a 450 would be great for someone that uses 1/4 of the throttle.... moron
Still have some of the originals from when I got them in the late 60s. I just wish I had kept my collection of concert posters.
The US market train wreck had more to do with the 350 delay than pissed off managers. The US side was "fuck off with the 350 idea, we are kicking ass with 450s." and the Japanese said "bullshit, you are losing money on those too!" With the exchange rate down, they really do lose money on MX bikes, which is why racing money is drying up so fast.
On the other hand the exchange rate is working in Europe's favor. They don't sell as many but they make more money. Euros are not whining about 350s as much as the US guys were, so its only a matter of time. The money losers can't tell the money makers what to do.
The 350s are coming, just not on the same schedule.
There are other interesting displacement changes for the US under discussion for SX, but I might wait until you people can the attitude before I tell ya about them!
