Broc Hepler and Josh Hill were both factory Yamaha 250 riders. But you’re right, it’s been a while.
Hepler was on a Yamaha 450/250 2-stroke I think.
Hill...yeah maybe he was factory 250f for a bit before they decided he was better suited for the 450
Both were on Factory in-house Yamaha 250F
Hepler was Factory Yamaha on a 250F

You must be young. What are you talking about, 250F's, or 250 2-strokes? Last time "Factory Yamaha" ran 250Fs was in 2006-2007, with Hepler and Hill. Last time a Factory Yamaha 250 2-stroke raced was Reed in 2005 and won the last race at Vegas.
Wonder for who? MCR or maybe Phoenix? Definitely had a rough year last year with injuries but regardless, a talent to not have a ride.
when I said 250, I was talking about 250f/125 2 stroke.
Anyways. No big deal
Is Yareeve sporting a team for US sx? Firepower? Anstie and....who was his teammate last year?
Him and Deano.
His team wasn't listed in the Honda Team introduction yesterday.
Phoenix Racing Honda
SmarTop/Bullfrog Spas/MotoConcepts Honda
SLR Honda
JCR Honda
Turner Racing Honda
Honda Off-Road Factory Racing
Raceco-USA Honda
Wonder what "Honda Off-Road Factory Racing" is?
I thought that SLR and JCR handled all the "factory" Honda off road stuff.
The press release didn't say anything concerning the support teams and off-road teams.
I don't know if Michael was at the team intro, but Lewis was there so he might have some information.
PC Kawi always look over-the-top. In a good way.
I was just going off the list you posted. Caught my eye.
Michael Mosiman has been testing with the SLR team.

Never heard of them. An offroad team?
Pit Row
Yes, and they’ve been the SX Futures/rider development team, too.

Bike is so sexy. Only thing that would make it better is the green exhaust stickers the 450 team runs. That’s like pointing out a flaw in a supermodel though.
I agree. Don't forget the green carbon fiber end cap the 450 runs as well.
Better picture of the PC Kawi.

What was up with him this year, anyone know? He won a sx race and a moto at hangtown just a year ago right? Kinda crazy, reminds me of Brandon Jesseman in 03 and 04 minus the championship. Jesseman won in 03 then was barely in the top 20 top 15 outdoors in 04.
Left outdoors in 22 with a broken neck. I believe he had a concussion in sx this year then sat out til ouddoors. I believe he crashed outdoors this past outdoors and needed shoulder surgery. If my memory serves me correctly.
Both were on factory yamaha 250F's
Hepler if I remember correctly ran a balanced crank with short rod, ton of compression, wish I could remember what they did with the carb.
And that bike was still slow as hell lol Yamaha of Troy had faster bikes. Too bad Hepler had that really bad concussion. I believe Yamaha paid him a lot more then Suzuki but that bike wasn’t up to speed.
I forgot about the broken neck, that’s a hard one to get over for sure. Scary stuff.
