Maybe not that good, but certainly one of the greats. If it weren't for Villopoto he would have spent a lot of his career unchallenged.

I think ktm's small street bikes are made in India, that'll lower the price as well.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, using correct technique on dirt the bike should lean over more than the rider, weighting the outside peg like you said. What I'm trying to say is that in a perfect world, using upright rider (dirt) technique on Tarmac might provide more grip, but because of the larger gyro force at higher speed, it's just not...

At motogp speeds the gyroscopic forces that want the bike to stand up are much larger. I would think the only way it's possible to lean the bike is to use your body weight.

The worst list is racist against tall people, and how is Villopoto not in the top five, the guys wheels are never in line.

Watching stage 1 highlights, i notice every rider wearing full body protection, I don't know if it's regulations or maybe rally racers are smarter than mxers.

Such a bike would probably need a " designed in the US, made in China" sticker on it. I think designing the bike would be easy compared to getting the buying public to trust a new brand, and I can't see the big 5 doing this. Best bet is an up an coming brand like Mahindra.

This is the first ive heard of it, I dont feel any different lol

First sentence needs an asterisk.

F1 teams usually get real nervous when they see they're drivers playing on bikes, they've got a lot invested in them. Luckily Kimi is the epitome of "NFG", so any protest from Lotus will probably get ignored.

I own a CRF250 and really like it, but even I think Hondas design philosophy is messed up, they seem to focus on pointless gimmicks instead of spending r&d money on things that will make a better race bike. Look at the twin exhausts and wrap around header on the 450, makes the bike heavier, more prone to damage, uglier...

Wasn't mx really popular in Russia back in the day, what went wrong?

So many people say there needs to be a 125 class at the nationals again, they are way off the mark, what we really need is a pig support race, I'd pay to watch that.

This was also my plan

Kawasaki's ads during the national coverage are so irritating that they make me want to avoid buying a kawi, even if they were the best bikes around. I've seen some reasonably creative ktm ads in magazines over the years. Monster probably gain the most out of mx advertising, which we should be embarrassed about really.

Desalle is on a charge, went round Cairolli and Paulin like they werent there!

Seeing Herlings that pissed off makes me happy, Searle had loads of setbacks because of traffic, he closed the gap on Herlings only to be caught behind a lapper several times. Well done Searle for never giving up.

New Fox gear looks schweet, awesome to see him racing again.
