We all know you guys have a soft spot for two strokes. This is evidenced by you being the only Factory Effort at the Glen Helen Two stroke championship.
I have a suggestion. Bring this effort to the rest of the AMA nationals. Yes i know its silly why bring out factory guys that arent going to win.
To accomplish this bring the AX team under the factory rig. Put Regal on a 250 and Steinke on a 125. Steinke already has notoriety for racing a 125 last year, bone stock in fact so he should be better on factory equipment
Racing is for showcasing your products and last i checked you guys are the only ones being active in the two stroke game(and ktm) secondly it would produce a huge instant fan base. just put them out there and tell them to just qualify and put the bikes on the line. Boom instant win and it puts more white bikes on the line.

Actually bikes, since he rode both Yamahas and KTMs.
The Shop
Added with yamaha cant make a better engine than the 2005/06 and with barely any change its the same engine in 2016
The 2005 had aoss suspension
The 2006 had the SSS almost exactly whats on the 2016
It won the MXA 2015 shootout
It cant win 2016 because off the showroom floor the ktm motor makes more hp & the chassis, clutch and looks are far far superior, anyone would agree - the yz comes stock off the showroom floor with killer SSS units and race ready wheels - the ktm/husky comes race ready with shitty suspension and horrible wheels !
Though the yz does not come race ready!
but a little love and the yz can be the cream of the crop - no suspension and wheels needed; they're included
AN... Off the showroom ktm on a real track is shitty , sure'll youll say "yeah but these guys are racing, they have race kits, not stock!"
To that i say;
that excludes potential competitors
Think similiar to when Volvo raced a wagon against BMW's http://jalopnik.com/volvos-850-wagon-racer-was-all-sorts-of-two-wheeling-aw-1567506405
it was pretty much a joke but it showed their car off and that it wasnt a grandma wagon.
Steinke went out last year on a KTM 125 for FUN. and he qualified multiple times. on a STOCK bike.
If they put him on the Factory 125 with a built motor and suspension and let him loose what'll happen? he'll probably get almost as much attention as the guys winning and everyone will know who it is going by.
ITS ABOUT ADVERTISING and a 125 and 250 sing a different tune so they stand out
Pit Row
but it generated so much interest in the car. People look at BMW's as a performace car because they take it racing. but now this wagon car wasnt so lame, it was a race car and any car thats used for racing is awesome.
This wouldnt be FTW. it would be for fun and generating interest in the Brand and getting people talking about Huskys.
They are pushing to get back into the US market, they have been on the fringes of mainstream bikes because our community is so stuck on Jap bikes. Look how long it took for KTM to make it. They started in by hitting where the Japs werent, the offroad market. Husky needs to hit the Japs where they arent, in the two stroke market.
And why do you reckon these wonderful 4 strokes are more powerful than the 2 strokes that are allowed to race against them?
