I would assume quite a bit. Maybe get A kit, but the bottom end and engine will be different. Last time I believe they were running GYTR engine kits and TD was helping.

I think its bad ass when my friend can come in tune his yz with his phone then it seems like a completely different bike back out on the track. Them blue bikes are really tempting!!

Something about seeing Dirt Bikes next to the Christmas tree with lights takes me back to some awesome times as a kid

Looks awesome to me. Reminds me of 96-97ish factory 125s. Subjective deal I know; my favorite YZs of all time.

Im making an assumption here, but I believe it’s just a stock bike with cosmetics to give an idea of what it will look like. I expect a similar but more hopped up bike for H1

MANLUK - A tiny Canadian Metal fab company?

I wonder how they came to sponsor a USA dirt bike team?

I wonder what it costs to be a title sponsor nowadays?

Manluk is in the petrochemical/mining business. They have 4 manufacturing plants, over 200 people on staff, and they're shipping materials to 20 countries.

They teamed up with the K&R Racing team last year for supercross. Teaming up with Rock River and Merge Racing for 2021 and beyond allowed 3 smaller teams to become 1 bigger team. They'll be doing SX and MX in the US.

They're in it for the long haul and you'll most likely see A. Mart on a 450 in Canada at some point.

They'll also continue to operate a team up here.

There's other Canadian presence down South with the Club MX team and the PRMX Kawasaki team.

Awesome Manluk is partnering and doing both US and Canadian teams.

Great news for AMart. I think he will be perfect for that team.

But - I want to see AMart on a 450 in the US first.

Kinda reminds me of the privateer effort Deano had a few years back. Looks pretty slick....

I personally don't think A. Mart would win the 450 title even if he was to come up next year, much less 3-4 years from now.
