I just think of all the R & D time and inventory of Yamaha parts/ works parts that will be sold off to the highest bidder.
Makes me cringe.

They will have to pay someone to haul away those old blue pigs! Bring in the pig hauler and the tie down straps, those pigs are wild!

Are those air forks on Barcia's Blue Pig?

So stoked for JGR, I'll be loving to see all the yellow bikes out there next year. Their first iteration of graphics needs some serious work. I'm no graphic artist but it needs more yellow and a seat makeover.

This bike is sick. The more yellow, the faster they go Smile



Dude. Look at what they had on their Yamahas. It's a huge improvement!

Hmmm....Motorcycle SS title sponsor for RCH?????
As far as I know, it's not enough money to be the title sponsor, they are still looking for the $$ sponsor. It may end up being a group effort of sponsors, instead of one big one. I'm sure it'll all work out, there's some smart people over there.

stable is the last thing I would ever connect to barcia's riding style. if the guy knows something than it is how to ride 'out of control'. more so I hope a new bike will give him and the team that little extra motivation and confidence.
Do you have experience with a Suzuki 450 or are you just going by what MXA (jody) said?

The bike can be made stable and in the process very predictable in the corners or you can set it up to turn like a razor blade. I'm just curious what your experience is with the bike.

I think the graphics look decent and are as expected for a team thats basically switching colors.

I am sure the final race bike will not have a stock seat either.

IMO looks good enough for monster cup.

I agree, 250 riders should be Matt B and Bowers. Man, Bowers and Peick in the same trailer...gnarly!

Motorcycle Superstore will not be supporting the Jimmy Albertson team next year. But you will see their logo support on a different yellow team, from what I'm told. Not sure if Jimmy will secure a title sponsor for his team or not, but I hope so, he's always been a good dude and put together a good program last year. Otherwise there will be a couple more riders on the availability list....

Matt Bisceglia's name has been mentioned for one of the 250's, which shouldn't surprise anyone. Bowers will not be on the other bike though.
Damn really? Thats a shame. Semmed like he had a pretty solid program besides trying to get more ponnies out of that motor. I know they have albee, cunningham, and osby for mext year. Hopefully theyre not searching for rides too. But it makes sense seeing how top jimmys bikes havent had any graphics on them lately.

He did a great job with the looks of that team, IMO. The bikes/gear was one of the most visible teams on the track.

never said anything about the suzuki. I was talking about barcia's riding style in regards to the comment I quoted. Meaning IF the bike were not stable (as matty said) barcia could most likely deal with it because of his riding style. never agreed with matty's comment.

I'd say bercy will be barcia's first race.

JGR Ain't going nowhere with those stock number plates.
The factory front number plate is what makes an outdated, overweight, slow ass bike a proven championship-winning machine. Silly

Happy for Barcia, hope he'll be back when he belongs with the yellow bike.

I'm looking forward to some Barcia interviews. I really hope he gets asked about the Yamaha and he gives his honest thoughts, I don't think he will be holding back with his opinion!

Dont think talking bad about Yamaha will make him any faster. He is now at happy place with great bike and should only be thinking forward. Yamaha is actually good bike for some but not for all.

Guarantee it makes no difference to Barcia's results less he changes that riding style.

Barcia's riding style is just fine. I didn't hear anyone criticizing his riding style when he beat Dungey at Redbud in '15. Or when he won at Phoenix and Seattle in '13 on the CRF450.

Everyone is an expert. He's a professional racer that has won at the highest level, he's good. Second place to Kenny Roczen (in front of Tomac) at the last 2 nationals this year is proof the guy is going to be just fine. It's small changes at the top level that take you from 2nd place to consistently winning, not a complete upheaval of the way you ride your dirtbike. A new bike and a fresh team atmosphere could be just what he needs. Or he may still only be a podium guy. We'll see I guess...
