I would love to see the AMA claiming rule dropped.
When I was younger I had the opportunity to live
near one of the shops where Joel Roberts and
Roger De Coster's bikes were being developed.
There are still works bikes out there,but not in the
US.The development of these machines is being
done in other countries.The"claiming"should
be abolished so the natural evolution of
motocross can continue.The Japanese and
European MX races are where the manufacturing
companies are doing all their development
work. I would rather that would be in the US.
All the Big players in the MX industry,have a incredible
amount of experience and data that you nor I will
ever get to see.

frames and much more.I was just a young teenager,wish I knew then what I know now,DUH!
Don't we all!
1981 these companies have incredible amounts of knowledge that we don't get to
see. The evolution of MX has been stifled since the claiming rule was instated .

Actually I think they should bring back the claiming rule. Level out the playing field.
I miss works bike. Not sure they reduce the cost of racing for anyone. Also not sure if they make any difference in who finishes where, whether we have them of not. The sexy trickery is more than awesome, though, that's for sure.
I'd submit that most talented riders always move to the front regardless of what they are riding, and those riders will always get the best equipment to make that gap bigger. Sounds circular, but it also means that most of the guys not succeeding at breaking into a top twenty position year in and year out without ever catching someone's eye are in that spot because they are not good enough, and not because of their equipment.
Okay, now I', mixing threads, sorry. Works bikes are damn cool. Miss 'em.

Wonder if we get to see this in the US.

The question is when will we see it on the production bike. That could possibly be a good example of the production rule helping advance the bikes we buy off the dealer floors
Take a look at a current Muscle Milk Factory Honda or a Monster Energy Kawasaki. How much better are they going to get?
Hell, they already modify stock frames, engine cases, etc.
Now days a Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki is just as good.
Back in the old days no outside bikes came close to the works bikes. Times have changed.
