Looks like they’re staying yellow fella’s I’m glad they are!!! We need the yellow bikes in this sport, they had Larry standing by the bikes, and HEP Suzuki semi. In the photo I saw, I love the “ZOOKS” big history in our sport.

I wonder if they’ll install an aftermarket start button. Knowing if you wreck you’re the only one that’s gonna have to kick it is a mental disadvantage from the start imo

Your post has zero to do with the topic. I really miss the old Vital MX when fans of the sport were posting. Lately too many only contribute negativity and it gets old. Good news is I waste was less time surfing here.

Why go through all the time, effort and money to field a bike at such a clear disadvantage?

Help me out here, what does hiring Larry Brooks have to do with the manufacturer the team will partner with next year?

The only manufacture to be able to receive off track help for starting, or re-starting purposes. (if necessary). This includes flagmen or photog's.

Brooks has been managing the Bar X Suzuki team for a while now so HEP Suzuki will be easy transition.

Thank you for that information, I had no idea.

You’re gonna feel really dumb when James “Bubba” Stewart comes out on one throwing a fat whip and an epic scrub, proving all the naysayers wrong and sending the so called “pro” roster that will be on the gate back to there little training facilities

Suzuki was my First bike/Raced. A 1975 TM 125 I bought for 300 bucks mowing lawns, shoveling snow...you know? all the stuff today's kids will not do.
It needed...well everything. it was what we called a Basket. Meaning everything was there but you have to put it together.

Long story short I raced it in a hair scramble at Delta,Ohio back in 1980. I didn't know it was a NATIONAL EVENT Whistling . SillySilly I didn't get last but gained a ton of friends/Support.

My next bike was a 1981 RM125. What a Mistake, after the 78-80' years they had I thought for sure this bike was going to ROCK.


What I pile of SHIT!. What it did was taught me how to not let off...NEVER! I used the clutch. it was a FKIN dud. bought a CR after that and shit was Roses and Rainbows after that.

Hope Suzuki gets their shizz together. The MX scene is getting a lot of comers as of late.

Wtf right! The 1981 RM 125 was a legendary bike by all accounts - I had one and it was a great machine. That full floater was epic - a classic bike. To this day it's considered to be an excellent bike ahead of its time.

I still can’t believe Pipes pulled this team thing off! He was just the fat kid riding his dad’s races and now he’s a team owner. Hat’s off to you Dustin.

OK, I may have Made a mistake.
The few years before I bought the RM was the bike to own/Race...When I bought the RM I'm thinking 83/84 when it was an anchor.? Every KX, CR past like I was sitting still.
Makes sense.. Gonna find some home pics to make sure but I do know that year I bought one was a water tank

I got a brand new 1980 RM 125 in December of 1980. It was great, until I lined up to race against the 1981 Rm 125s in the spring. IT was a long summer. Lol

I'm not at all a Larry Brooks fan...but I am a fan of Suzuki putting competitive machines on the line. So, as long as Brooks doesn't cock things up, HEP should do well.
