Weight. If I don't need it, I don't want it on the machine.

On that note, did anyone catch that at Suzuki's annual dealer meeting they announced that they signed Doug Gust as a full factory-backed rider for '04?!?! So that is Honda AND Suzuki on factory teams. I wonder if Yamaha will buckle and start a team of their own. They certainly have the machine to do it with...

BTW - Who the hell is Steve Ellis???

Bottom line on the Honda 450. People have all ready put the full powered version in quad frames. They showed no signs of dominating anything...... Now they put a detuned version in a quad frame..... Unless they did something to make it rev as quickly as the YFZ, I don't see it beeing the quicker of the two.

Obviously, Farr will rack up some wins.....

Again, that's Tim Farr....

I'm talking your average racer at your local track, and racers that do extremely well that have switched to the Honda 450.

Thats true, if your a dominant rider, your gonna win the race, even though the YZF450 riders had the advantage on far, he still won on a less powerfull quad, because hes better.
