Going off previous years results and wsx. Friese is about the best non factory rider. This year there is 13 guys I would call factory. All Ktm,gg,husky, Honda, Yamaha and kawi guys. Minus prado but including Kenny. Next best this season is ferrandis. That's 14 guys. Then I expect the next battle to be deano, Justin hill, Friese, chiz, mcelrath, nichols, bloss and maybe masterpool. They are all better then guys like moranz, cade and starling. I would think friese would be top 3 of that group week in and out. (Depending on how the betas are.) That's should put...

Yea, that could have happened. Not really Vince “smashed” Anderson. Just another example of dumb ass Vince not caring who he might hurt. KTM 50s right there and a couple of KTM people standing there. Anderson should not have been riding up the side but doesn’t excuse vince doing that if he did. vince needs to stop putting people at risk. Pretty much every rider that doesn’t get the holeshot could start taking people out. They don’t because they have a level of respect for other riders safety and the sport. Vince doesn’t. He’s bad for the sport despite the...

That is comparing wet (Yamaha measurement) and dry weight (MXA measurement). The 2024 is around 225 lbs dry.

From MXA: Q: HOW MUCH DOES THE 2017 YZ250F WEIGH? A: At 222 pounds, the Yamaha is one pound heavier than last year.Dec 5, 2016. The 2024 model is 231 lbs. I personally like the 17 and 18 Yamaha 250f over any of the newer YZ250F's.

Hunter has the higher ceiling and I think he will ride a 450 better than a 250. Lately, Cooper’s results seem start dependent. Cooper will be a top 10/just outside top 10 guy. I can see Hunter getting some podiums.

Id say the most pressure is equal between Chase & Jett. Chase- Many many people will say Chase didn't win last year's SX Championship as much as Eli 'lost' it. He'll want (need) to prove he was a worthy winner. And he's On a proven bike & team- there aren't many excuses. Jett- The man of the moment! Not many expected his outdoors performance. All eyes are on him to see what he can do. At the same time there's a whole host of Americn 'fans' who are desperate to see him fail. And then we've got Webb!! He'll want...

"Especially with Genova money" is such an wild thing to say in this context... As if he's some sort of tycoon, and not just a run-of-the-mill successful businessman who happens to be an over-the-top mx enthusiast and is already vastly overspending what most in his position would find comfortable.

Simple. VF consistently races behind himself, every other rider you mentioned consistently races forward. VF makes the racing crappy with his blocking, he causes backups and then when the riders get past him he torpedoes them. Makes for boring races and the worst part is it generally doesn’t even work for him, he just craps all over the track but still doesn’t win. I’ve been around since the Hannah days, the guys you’ve mentioned were able to win by racing forward. He’s a good rider with a faulty brain holding him back.

Those guys, except Barcia on occasion race forward and or have the same or more speed. Vince is a cross jumping road block man. He put a bounty on his own teammate for fks sake.

Naw The "o" was clearly guilty of toxic masculinity and also served as a perfect example of Zionist oppression, so it had to go.

You know me. I certainly don’t hate Vince. Hell, I don’t even dislike Vince; but, I’d certainly “police his ass on the track” a helluva lot better than the AMA has! The truth is, Vince, on far too many well-documented occasions, has been an absolute ass on the track. More to the point, he’s been at the center of far too many crashes and other un-safe and unnecessary “events” on the track. The reality is…if someone parked his ass HARD…or if someone took him out BAD…and both of those scenarios could very easily have him on the ground SERIOUSLY INJURED…well...

He's lucky to win a 7 minute world sx race with no passing areas cross jumping and taking front wheels off.

Asking a forum how to pick a dirt bike is like asking us to pick you a girlfriend- everyone likes something different. that said, the Honda and the KTM are very different bikes. The Honda isn’t really that popular around here ATM due to twitchy handling and suspension issues. the two tallest 2024 bikes are KTM and Yamaha, and you can’t go wrong with either brand.🤷‍♂️

JT practically painted Vince a moron in this regard. He said something along the lines that Vince doesn't even comprehend that he is doing anything remotely wrong. It's like the lights are on but nobody is home...there's no policing him because he just doesn't get it. Shame he isn't racing the 250's...it's legit the one thing good about it still being a regional series, because when Vince is racing it, there's less of him.

I just don’t want to see VF hosing up the whole show with his rear view mirror antics. He has a unique ability to ruin a great race, while still not winning..

Sorry dawg, but your not riding deep enough tracks then, I rode 350’s for seven years, I used to think like you, untill my wife told me I was riding way harder than everyone else in the class (open pro sport) and then I was like no way, went to 450s and instantly had better speed every where. 350s are a gimmick. You think your going fast, but if you could ride the 450 just as hard, obviously your gonna be going faster, I still think a 350 is a great bike but my corner speed on a 450 would...

I completely disagree with just about everything you just said. firstly, we aren’t talking about Nationals we are talking average riders that mostly do track days and race occasionally. Secondly, Even at 230 pounds i can pull 450s everywhere except maybe on the start but i’ll still be top 5 and can let the 350 eat further and will make it up through the first turn. thirdly, my corner speed will crush a 450 any day of the week, i can carry speed further into the corner zone one, be smooth through zone 2 and accelerate harder out of zone...

Lap times do NOT directly translate to race results. 350 vs 450 in racing with a like for like rider, not always but more often than not the 450 will win. Because, if you can get a wheel ahead out of a corner or on the straight, you will likely make the pass or retain the position. We see this in vet racing all the time. This may diminish as the 350 power creeps up, but that's been my experience at a club and national vet level. Despite that, I'm considering a 350. I think i'm at a stage where...
