If that's "looking comfortable" I'd hate to see uncomfortable. Not that any conclusion can be drawn from a short clip.

It's just a common Vital joke. Much like the pizza, sprocket bolts, etc.

The bike looks way too light. Thing will probably break some front spokes. I bet Yamaha has to add weight to meet the minimum by the AMA.

No. I know for a fact that Bigfoot doesn't wear O'Neal gear. And...doesn't especially like Yamahas.

I don't think it's a coincidence that many of the people criticizing his cornering live a long way away from that track...

I was thinking the same thing. Lots of big chunks of really hard dirt. Place doesn't stay soft at all! I grew up riding there and the dirt has always been the same

If he would chop half of the subframe off, shorten the shock shaft, and rotate the bars into his lap maybe he would look more comfortabe or faster.
I saw a guy race a two stroke like that and he won all the time!

Word on the street is that he's still waiting for the parts to show up

To quote Matthes_ Millsaps could get 5th or 15th next year and neither would be a surprise.

Ok thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to slide that into a reply some time.

Dirt is hard as crap there with marbles on top...you would see ANYONE pussy footing around that place.

Has it been made official that Davi is at Yamaha?
IF not why would Yamaha let him run big #18's on the bike. Kind of makes a press release seem stupid

Corner speed seems to be only problem, he needs to turn in couple times in every corner.
Bike looks difficult to ride.
Handling like a piece of shit. See the 1st corner took about 4 attempts to get it to turn in. And looks way too busy
Ya that thing really looked like crap going into a flat, slick corner with nothing to bank off.Pinch

FFS some of you guys are unreal. . .Dry

It hasn't been made official with Yamaha, but he's out of his Butler deal so...

A few riders have tested or rode bikes with their numbers ahead of official PRs...odd, but it happens.
