Pro 2011 Supercross Teams
- Thread starter CDA
- Start date
really, I haven't see a YZ on any showroom floors around for a while, only two stroke you can buy around here is a KTM even the KAW dealer doesn't stock little two stroke 65cc it is stupid with thumpers, you have to order a kaw, yam, zook, and Honda 85's.
One reason it makes me mad, knowing you can get them but they won't offer them up until beg for them, I hate when someone tries to force a product out because they know the make more money of another....that is why I won't got to a stealership. Not that I am going to buy a bike but parts, gear and so forth.
Thats the thing... The factories see big$$$$ in 4T... how many 4Ts you see out there 5+ yrs old in good running condition? very few if any at all. The cost of repairing the motor versus a new bike is outwieghed.
Now how many 2 stroks do you see out there that are 5, 10, 15 and even 20 yrs old still running very well..
4Ts are the Bic lighters of the MX community.

That would be a sight to see, especially in this day and age. However I'd rather see him on the podium to prove that small budget teams can make it as well.
Mines an 05 and last I checked it was 2011. You also have to remember which has been around longer, for instance Kawi and Suzuki only made their first 250f in 04.That would be a sight to see, especially in this day and age. However I'd rather see him on the podium to prove that small budget teams can make it as well.
Small budget team
for sure!Good point James, but if you had a blown motor what would it be worth? I know 08's in good running condition are only pulling about 2k.... you might get the occassional 2500 if the bike is mint.... a little more for a yammi or KTM.
Yammi's hold up a little better in the valve dept and ktm is ktm......
In 09 I remember seeing lots of 08 250's for sale in the 2800 range and they were in nice condition......
just sayin thats all
Rider Injury Report
OK, so the first Supercross race is behind us, so I thought I would put up an update on who is injured.
Jimmy Albertson – Knee
Comment: Albertson crashed on the third lap of his second qualifying session and caught his leg under the bike. It was initially thought that he broke his leg, but X Rays showed no broken bones. Albertson headed back home to see a specialist to have the appropriate evaluation done, so look for an update next week.
Michael Byrne – Wrist
Comment: The new BTOSports.com/BBMX Suzuki pilot suffered a Lunate dislocation of his right wrist at the Bercy SX back in November. The injury required surgery, but is healing fine and he is scheduled to return to racing at Anaheim 2.
Matt Goerke – Ankle
Comment: The TiLube rider injured his ankle while preparing for Anaheim 1. Goerke’s doctor said it should be a speedy recovery, but don’t look for him to return till at least Round 4.
Josh Greco - Ankle
Comment: Privateer Josh Greco had a bad endo at Anaheim and broke his ankle. He is getting surgery soon and expected to make a full recovery.
Wil Hahn – Back
Comment: Hahn during the first practice session at Anaheim 1 and landed on his back. Hahn suffered a compression fracture of his T-5 vertebra. It’ll be a few months before Hahn can resume his training routine.
