What do you guys think? Fat bars this year on it instead on twin walls he's run forever. Still has traditional showa shock on it. Not that new balance (or whatever it's called) showa shock that he was trying out at straight rthymn. The same shock that was on the works Japan rmz 250 that Mike lindsey tested last summer on vital. I guess that big new sponsor title fell through as well. Maybe that was mentioned on here already. I didn't notice.

Hope it gets used this season instead of a garage queen.

Not the best looking bike in my eyes but I'm sure it will still go plenty fast.

I can't believe Yosh paid a company to pay a designer to come up with that mess. WTF?

Is that an "SFF AIR" decal on a spring fork? I don't see a balance chamber.

The honda is the bike with the dual balance chambers in the rear.

Not a huge fan of what they did with the graphics, not bad, just not as good as they use to look.

I was thinking the same thing. Too much sag in the rear and a few of the bolts look over-torqued as well.

I think there's two forks also. Can't take a chance on him becoming unbalanced on account of running a mono-fork.

Looks nice. I really wish Yosh would have went to a blue/yellow scheme. Still, it looks nice. Much better than the RCH look which is both nearly identical to last years plus just ugly to begin with. I liked Yosh's 13 and 16 best out of those pictured. Didn't care for 14 or 15 much.

Albertson's team's Zooks probably look the best, ironically.

At least with RCH I can understanding they are trying to provide branding for their title sponsor. Thus the black, red and white. Ugly, yes, but they are getting paid for it. Yosh basically has a clean slate and I would expect better.

But black, and white is pretty boring when it comes to MX bikes, especially coming from a team with such creative owners, especially Hart.

I like James' new steed. I just think it is high time Suzuki at least modifies their plastic. It's been the same since 08. Time for something a bit more modern.
