I don't think anyone is doubting credibility here. Why come on a forum and tell people how wrong they are and add zero information. Why not just take the high road and be quiet like all the other insiders that read these forums. It's just an ego thing it seems like for a few members. They have to let people know they know more than you but provide nothing.

He gives details on what he’s aloud to talk about from what I’ve seen. He will also admit when he’s wrong. Which I think was once lol

What about the starts? Can the ET3 / YZ450 combo get competitive top 5 starts?

I can see Todd calling the star gets the start

Kawi hasn't been the same since letting Mike Williamson go. Star seems to have it going on right now. Excited to see the new bike and Eli on it.

I'm not doubting his credibility at all. To be completely fair though in just the first few pages of his posts he said Hill will be at MCR and also JGR will be racing so..........


The guy clearly knows the sport well beyond me. I'm a nobody that reads the forums. To say he's only been wrong once is just stroking an ego.

No facts required.
Funny, a year or two ago I was told multiple times that I defend the guy too much on here. I just don’t believe going to Yamaha is an upgrade in equipment, and considering how sensitive Eli seems to be with the setup of his bike I don’t believe this will be a good match.

Like I’ve posted already, I’m a big fan of Eli’s regardless of what bike he rides and will happily eat my words if it turns out I’m wrong.

No he doesn’t. “What he’s allowed to talk about” please. The only thing this guy knows is what’s talked about in podcasts. Comes on every single time there’s a switch about to happen and spouts some bullshit and says he can’t say. Why bother then?? Are some of you really that insecure you need to act like you’re someone or in the know in the industry on vital? Lol

Yeah just listened to the emergency pod, Rockstar signed a 5yr deal to remain with Husky, great to hear that. Anderson was in negotiations with Star when the tomac deal came together and is supposedly done, so then ando was working on re-signing with Husky, but Kawi came in and started talks with him.

Dude, just roll with it, you know what he meant. Why didn't you bag on the "High HP" part and post a copy of MXA's dyno shootout on stock 21 450's.

I honestly do not know what he meant. Generally curious to how he jumped to that conclusion.
It was just a slight dig at his clutch problems on the green bike, it was funny.

It's a perfect fit, Eli is on the down swing of his career, Star Yamaha needs to add more credibility to their program with someone that has experience developing a 450 championship bike. It's a win win for him and monster.
4 titles in the past 4 years and he's on the down swing? I would be surprised if he ended his career without at least 1 more title.

He was on Suzuki's as an amateur, so it would be cool to see him retire on yellow, but as cool as that would be, that's not happening.

I'm not doubting his info. He's been right a lot more times than he has been wrong.

Was genuinely curious to know what he heard.

With Suzuki's minimal presence, that might not be a bad thing. Grinning

Big James burned some bridges at Kawi I doubt they’d sign him. Although I’d be ok with it.

GNCC and Amateur MX is pretty much owned by KTM and Yamaha. Is Pro MX going to go that route? Yamaha is selling more competition bikes than everyone except KTM.

Seems early to sign when he has a whole outdoor series to do still on the KX.

I mean if Yamaha just throws money at you then sure. But it’s definitely the last bike/team anyone wants to ride for.
I think I would rather be on the yamaha than honda.
When was Hondas last title?

pre- EFI?
