Reed is going to KTM, Millsaps will be on a Yamaha and Pourcel will be on a Honda. Very good source that I won't disclose from GA. Watch and see..... Oh and K-dub on a Yamaha but that's just a guess

I did see Davi hanging around the Valli Motorsports rig for quite awhile at Pala.

Looks like Reed got the best deal out of all of them. IMO.

Yeah, the only thing that throws me off about KTM and reed is that he has voiced is opinion of how much EFI is better for him and that he didnt like carbs. I dunno, 350 maybe? The 2011 ktm 450 isnt EFI, correct? But hell, if the money is right, carbs all the way.

When the music stops, there are going to be a lot of people still standing, and few with names that are going to surprise people.

Yeah you did, they were on here. That doesn't mean they can race it here, though. Gotta have however many units available with F.I. to make it legal. Or maybe they could just sell it as part of their "hardparts" line-E.F.I. conversion kit.lol

I believe Nagl rode one at Lierop or in Italy, or both, but it's not for production in 2011.

I hope its true, Pourcel deserves to be on a 450. I think he will be poetry in motion on the more potent Honda.He can holeshot like Short and have the speed to stay there.

Dungey and Porcel will be on KTM. Reed will be red with Short and Canard. Rv and Weimer on Kawi.

Well, that pretty much settles that. Good find man. I think that Davi will do alot better on the yamaha. I am the same size as millsaps and I am on a 2010 yz450f and my last bike was a 09 crf450r, and I can tell you that it is cramped on the honda. I feel so much more comfortable on the yamaha. I have a stand up riding style like davi (only he is about 10 times faster) and I really am looking forward to him next year.

i agree that the yamaha will be a better bike for him, he never seemed real comfy on the honda and if the yamaha is as you described i think he will definately pick up some speed on the blue baller...

Davi's problem has never been the bike. The guy could win on anything, if he set his mind to it.
