A lot of it is rider, besides the Z has been out longer so it has more time on it to know what setup to use. And his Z is putting out just as much power as the other 450's. And as for the yamaha's just losing to suzuki, Tim Farr's HONDA was in second place in points. until the last race. I think most of it is Tim and Doug doing the winnig, doesn't matter what bike it is. I look to see Kory Ellis to be one of the best before to long.

I met Doug Gust at the Nationals last year. I shook his hand and congratulated him on his win. That guy is solid muscle, he's not wearing out yet.

ATV Sport just did an article on his machine. They said it has the most power of any MX quad they've tested.
