I think this bike is gonna be a serious contender for best 450 this year, the changes made seem like they will really help overall. Check the videos on yamaha's site, James doesn't look so comfortable going through the whoops on the bike, but he says he can do stuff on this bike that he couldn't on last years stock bike.

Congrats to Reed! He deserves it!.....Now he needs to redeem himself and win the 2010 supercross title! And for anyone saying he wouldn't have won if stewart was there.....Stewart does a perfect outdoor season in 08 and then doesn't come back to defend it????...All this supercross only contract talk is B.S. iF He really wanted to race he would have.Reed is easily the most consistent rider out there in the sport and deserves everything he gets!.

CAN'T ANYONE OUT THERE IN THE GAMING WORLD MAKE A TRUE MOTOCROSS Game for the FANS?????
I'm with most, I wish they would just make a MX game with REAL bikes including Hondas, Suzukis, Kawasaki's and Yamaha's,, even KTM's...And being able to pick or earn sponsors would be cool. I would love to race for mitch payton or larry brooks, or the red bull honda factory. Why not use the real tracks for outdoors and use the supercross schedule with 2 anahiem races and all that! And starting out as a privateer and earning your way to a factory bike/ride would be cool too! If they want to add other tracks, make them local tracks. And having the option to create your own track is a definite plus! Imagine being able to start a career on 50's as a little kid and work all the way up through 85's 125's and 250's to Pro having to race at loretta's and all that to get there! They are going in the right direction with ruts and tracks, but like it was said, LOSE the other rides like trucks and stuff!....LAME! I don't understand whats so hard about making a cool motocross game these days. And there aren't any options out there for current day games besides the mx vs atv series for motocross fans!

I love that people hate on Ashley! The fact is , shes doing an incredible job at getting the WMA more in the mainstream and motocross as a whole more mainstream, which means more options for fans and riders to watch and participate! AND shes paving the way for chicks like Jessica Patterson to get a factory ride! She didn't get ALL her exposure because shes deaf!....She got it cause she's deaf AND WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS! Shes gonna SMOKE those chicks at SX at XGAMES! I got to meet Ashley last year with my son at Southwick along with JP and geiger...they were all cool and can ride their As*es off!...Keep rippin it up Ashley!
