2008
The Torco version was used in SX 2008 and after that sponsorship fell apart Geico came on board for the nationals.

Your missing one that I can think of. I remember a KW bike with a clothing sponsor. Was it Doc Martins or maybe a Lee jeans?

Another cool thread. I like the look of the '04 and '05 bikes best.

The 2001 and 2002 bikes have the Doc Martens logo on the bottom of the shroud.

That was 2003 when Windham made his comeback, he was not a full fledged member of the team he kind of had his own deals going and had the sponsorship with Lee Jeans. The official team was Larocco and the 250 riders.

Doc Martens/Journeys (shoe store) were a sponsor of the FC team for a couple of years but I do not think they were invloved during the Windham/Lee year.

I forgot about that one. I dig up a better pic.

These threads are interesting because you can see the evolution of the motocross bike year by year. The changes seem so subtle, but in just a few scrolls of the mouse you've gone from a primitive steel framed two stroke to a really high tech, fuel injected aluminum framed four stroke.

Now that was good. I think each year the bikes kept getting better and better.

Thanks again Tony, these are the best threads on vital. Cant wait for TLD and factory honda!

Tony if you could find all the Hollywood themed hondas from early 00s, thatd be awesome. Jurassic Park was cool as hell!

Great topic.

The FC bikes seem to get better looking each year.
