So everyone seems to think the Yamaha YZ 450 is uncompetitive in professional racing. The bike is not good in SX, etc. There are six brands in the top eight in points. Three of the eight are Yamaha. So does the peanut gallery still think the Yamaha is a horrible bike for a pro? Or are you willing to admit at that level of racing 95% of it is rider and you just have to have the right rider in a healthy situation?

Because right now, did not seem AC was gelling with his Kawasaki or Marvin on the KTM, and Marty on his KTM compared to his Kawasaki.

Still blue pigs. Webb and Barcia are a prime example. Plessinger would have the points lead if it weren't for that blue walrus they call a motorcycle.

You guys claiming the Yamaha is a Blue Pig sound like ignorant clowns that are just following what some other idiot said. Have you even ridden one? They are maybe slightly wider than others in some areas but its minimal. For a tall guy like me its not even noticeable. Not saying they are the best bike for everyone but your rhetoric is tired.

He’s also 4 seconds a lap slower than the top guys being lapped every week. Far from a success story. The bike is fine for regular folks but at the top level its the worst factory bike. (Suzuki doesn’t count)

Star made the bike better. Pretty sure there's already a thread about them removing 8 lbs from the bike compared to last year's "Team Yamaha". I'm sure its an ongoing process too. Great to see them more prominent and in the mix towards the front.
