If the rumors are true then it seems that they’re going to dirt bike, really, really hard!

I guess after reading Vital for a few years somebody decided to retire Keith.

If your treading water your going backwards. Keith has been treading water for a long time.

With it capturing 3 of the top 5 MXGP positions, the bike itself seems less of a problem overall than the American team does.

He is retiring on his own. But with that all the good ole boys are gone.

The bike is good, they just need to give the riders what they need.

The bike is a different animal, it just needs to be tailored, which they are doing now with solid testing.

The 450 is a solid outdoor machine. Indoors is a different story. Indoors it suffers outdoors it's great.

Is this personal experience? Chiz would argue you, and I tend to believe a top 10-15 rider.

The chia is a good guy. He can argue with me all he wants. But that 450 is not as good of a baseline 450 SX bike as the rest. Now it might fit someones style better and they might like it indoors better then some bikes. But that bike just feels different on a sx track then any outdoor track. The 250 doesn't have this issue.

youre insane, if you really believe that the yamaha 450 is the worst 450... have you even ridden one?

the bike is awesome.

Its purely a set up problem with the yamahas.. Broc Tickle is gonna get 10-15 his first moto out on the "blue pig", Barcia will get 5th... thats pretty damn good considering there are about 20 Factory Rides...

How many times has that been gone over? The MXGP Yamaha could be running a completely different frame then what is allowed to be ran in the U.S. but I agree that the team itself probably needs some changing as well.

Dean Ferris seemed to prefer his production-based bike to the US team bike, too.

Would Tomac win on the YZ450? I'm betting yes.
