Funny, Matt doesn’t know that’s Jeff Stanton.

To me it looks like some clapped out ditchbank racer bike with that ugly black plastic.  Maybe it was the echo but it didn't sound that great to me.  Yah, I'm 50+ and get off my lawn while you are at it.Tongue

So cool to see a Triumph on an SX track.

Hate the black though.  I sure hope these are not the final production colors.

Yeah I'm not sold on the black either.

Was that a 450 there as well?  The one Ricky wasn't riding (assuming Savatchy...hope I spelled it correct) sounds like a 450.

What colour would you choose?

Classic spitfire / army green could have been nice but would clash with neon gear etc.

Well, all of the rumors of it being black were not overstated.

Did you all think they did black plastics because it's harder to see definitive design features with plastics until they do a full proper reveal?

Regarding the color, I was not a fan of the black either, and talking to someone about it, they offered perspective that made a little sense - what other color could they choose?  Pretty much any other color would be copying somebody.

They should have made it “prototype clay model” color.

Haha that'd beat the various black and white 'prototype camo' car makers often use.

Not looking forward to the Monster graphics, being solid black this will be the most Monster-can-looking bike yet...

Hopefully privateers do some cool shit with them visually.

Instead of black they should go with grey, any shade of grey would be cool and mix it in with black. I'm not feeling the black but maybe it would look ok once they put everything together.

Guys, you can put whatever stickers you want it on if you get one. Dizzy

Surely only thing that matters is whether it's fast or not currently.

Maybe we can drop the F now that fourstrokes have dominated motocross for 20+ years?

 

we don’t need the F anymore people

Im sure the aftermarket companies will make different color replacement plastics for it and different types of graphic kits.

No, the rules allowed the four strokes to dominate, and don't forget it, 

Cc to cc the two stroke is just as good,

Anyway, gold decals and it may look ok, until the black gets scratched and faded.

So, this was the big reveal? Sponging around a track while early detonating…? 😂
