Vital MX,
So who has ridden one or better yet owns one? I think they'll be racing in the AMA very soon. I know the 14's and 15's never touched American Soil. Let's hear some reviews.

I sure hope there will be another player in the Game. I think you are correct, it's 400 units in the shores...

The homo rule keeps small manufacturers from being allowed to compete.
In the past , I thought that rule helped smaller manufactures like Cannondale , Husenburg , Cagiva , ect?
Kind of think it's a dumb rule , right along side the CC vs CC 2 stroke / 4 stroke bullshit , but whatever.
the 450

2000 units globally? I guess it's time for the little factory to start working some weekends and 12 hour days, just so we get another brand in MX/SX...
Pit Row
rules need to be changed , like they have to pay so much to have a bike aloud to enter taking entire away from smaller teams that may want to run a current 2 stroke or TM etc .
AMA needs to take not of the world champs and run the 2 stroke {they call it euros} as a starter series give the kids a chance to learn the tracks at 14 on a 125 and privateers a chance to run 250-300 2 strokes that don't want a 10,000 dollar engine going bang after 10 hours if they last that long
There are things in this sport that need to be changed. This is one of them , along with making a legal CC vs CC rule with the 2/4 strokes. Don't even get me started on the whole " killing off the 125 class " ( which imho was the most important class for our youth barr none!)
Ok I'm done. Don't wanna bring myself down before this awesome weekend of racing.
And USA would benefit of a similar series like EMX125, EMX250 and EMX300. Especially the 125 series. I think that the EMX series are the best ways for young future stars to develop their skills and racecraft because of the tracks and the schedule.
But changing these things would be really difficult.
Love the Beta's also.
I'm really shocked there are not more Youtube videos on the new models.
I thought for sure our European brothers would be all over that.
TM could really use online videos to showcase their stuff.

Here's a recent video about 7 minutes with some clear track at Murphy's MX Red Rock TX
Another cool thing about TM is if you look at their 'factory' bikes, they are pretty much 100% stock, same as what you buy from them, competing against full works equipment of the bigger manufacturers. This year's 'works' bike is next year's production bike. They often look the unchanged on the outside but any internal changes that the race team develops and is proven makes it into production shortly after.
They sell a shit ton of cart engines, which is their real bread and butter, and it helps to fund their racing teams probably a lot more than the bikes ever will. It seems like a crazy way of doing business but that's passionate Italians for you, they're just going for it.
