What's with Guillod's bike being different? Is he on different team?
Yes, he's on a Yamaha support team but is getting a lot of help technical wise.

Bring back earned numbers!

There is no way in hell I would not run the number 1 if I won the championship. Chasing that number is what it is all about.

I don't think that bike looks very good. Doesn't hold a candle to the HRC bikes in my eyes.

I was at the Photoshoot in Olvan that day. It was a really cold day and it hasn't rained since november so they weren't the best conditions....Still it was cool to see them at my local track and get to chat a bit with them.

Romain looks very confident and happy, playing a lot woth the bike and having the most fun. I thought that was a good signal.

Anyone know what the idea is behind the front disc? It looks like it's got three floating supports and three solid supports.

Nice kickstarter.
Yeah I noticed that too not sure anybody else has really picked up on that we might be talking about another electric start bike.

I know it goes for going against the " Blue-Cru " slogan , but damn , I still love the looks of the white / red Euro versions of the Yamaha's. VH89's bike in this pic is what I'm getting at.

I didn't know they were running electric. They are sure taking their time putting it on the production bikes.

Actually, that's not what it's all about. Wink
It is about numbers, but we're talking numbers of dollars or euros. That and having fun on a dirtbike.
