nothing against Hahn, but another indication that the 450 class is weak and private teams are the way to go. Factory riders? Please!

shows that he isn't a true privateer and his bike was good. If he thought that the factory bike was that much better he would have gone to the factory team. I think that was a smart move on his part to be loyal to his sponsors and pay them with the overall today. Congrats Tommy!!

you old school people on here want it like back when there five or more guys that could win at any given time and this year we had that and yall still complain about the lack of talent or whatever other excuse yall have.

i thought the racing in both classes was the best it has been in recent times.

with no rc or bubbs = no runaways.

finally a few first-time winners this year.

Congrats for Tommy. I think it is more suprising to see Brayton win a moto.

Im glad to see guys like Brayton and Hahn up there. Sure, Villopoto, Alessi and Stewart arent there, but you gotta hand it to them, they beat some factory guys like Tedesco, Short and Reed

Yes riders do get faster during the National Series. But I think there is alot of injuried riders and that competition is down in the 450 class. Next year will be good! I hope Tommy Hahn gets a factory ride.

T. Hahn has mentioned before he loves riding for the Canidae team and how low pressure it is over there compared to how Factory Honda was.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see him stay where he is, or even riding for the rumored Pro Circuit 450 team, because he's on a Pro Circuit 450 already.

I was at Washougal when Tommy ran right with Reed for 35 minutes. He's the read deal, regardless of who didn't make it through the 450 season uninjured.

Hahns got great style. Very Ron Lecheinish. Never looks like hes going to crash, puts the bike where he wants it to go, pleasure to watch. And Im glad to see him get the win, though I thought for sure it was going to happen sooner in the season.

I predict we'll see Wilbur hit the top of the box next year. He's just as talented as Tommy but he had a shoulder injury that required some corrective surgery during the middle of the season.

Keep up the good work, Hahn bros.
