Not until the new bike is homologated, which takes more than just a couple days.

I just hope he does well on the new bike...

What's the homologation rule again? Isn't it something like 10 bikes available country wide?

Saw the 18 YZ450 today. So there's atleast 1 in the country.

I hope he will be on a pumpkin. I know, it wont happen. Yamaha would never let him go, they need him to show off the new bike.

On another note, do you not think that he had already known about the 18 bike long before he signed on a two year contract? Reed has known about it, just like everyone Yamaha was interested in signing.

I don't think anyone has posted riding impressions yet, have they? All I've seen are pics & details regarding changes...and there are lots besides BNG.

Did anyone other than Preston get to ride the 18 in the video you did ML? What bike was going around in the background?

And a certain number of bikes in the warehouse.

There are only a handful in the U.S. at the moment.

Is that a "no comment" on riding the new bike?

I think ML said that some dealers rode it.
