Luckily for the motocross community, and the OP, the 16 and 17 share only the gas cap vent tube. So, completely irrelevant.

This is going to be one of those "good fit" threads where guys try to place riders in hypothetical situations based on zero facts or logic, whatsoever. Such as AMart being the "wrong" pick and Forkner being the better choice. Martin beat Forkner in about 20 of 24 motos this year. Yea... send Forkner, right? or, Anderson being "off the...
Anyone tracking the tropical storm? Should be sitting right over the Carolinas next weekend. I've had tickets for months, and I'm still going, but I'm preparing to walk around in a storm all weekend, but hoping for the best.

Major teams replace every single component other than the frame and major suspension components, no one bats an eye. Two kids and a sprinter van, with a 125 run every national, without replacing a bottom end, and it spins a crank bearing, Huskys are junk. Vital logic.
