Jones to race Suzuki

[mxdave28]

J. Jones will be riding a Zuki for next season, all thats left is the signing of the dotted line....this should be interesting with Jones and Gust teaming up together...holy smokes i can see it now:eek2:

[theTman]

:eek2: awsome

[Dave400ex]

Team Suzuki will dominate even more next season. On ATV Scene it said they would have a factory semi and East Coast ATV could be the Suzuki/Yoshimura "Satellite Team". Sounds awesome. Now all they need is a Z450!

:devil: need...no have...yes:eek:

[Dave400ex]

Come on now Pappy don't be getting everybody all excited. I really think with having Gust on the team and doing testing for them that if they came out with a 450 it would be quite impressive. Guess we will have to wait and see, but I would like to have a Z450 if it ran anything close to Gust's Z400. I just hope it has E-Start.

[Parrella450]

people have been saying if they come out with a 450 its gonna smoke the yamaha and the honda 450 but idk. They already got the suzuki Rm450f dirtbike out so im sure the quad is soon to come. Jones has had a tough season on that yfz huh? saw a couple pics in dirtwheels of his subframe breaking and stuff...tough break for him

[moto50]

Doug Gust's quad is a 450. It has Yoshi's 450 kit in it.

[Parrella450]

yea no kidding...im talkin from the factory though

[redroost85]

I wonder if that means that they will have bump up their already existing $600,000 budget:eek2: ?

[Wood_15]

This is exactly what i expected to happen, since gust won the championship. Suzuki is going to start up a dynasty now. Since they got this championship under themselves during the revalutionary year. They are getting a lot of self promotion so now they just need to make a bigger team of riders and they'll dominate. I'm not a Die hard suzuki person but anything that helps out atvs i like looks like Factory help will get bigger and bigger.

[roostin_dale]

Thats sweet as hell! Is it a fact that he is going to be racing for Suzuki?

[Fred55]

Thats what he said on www.********.com ......they also said that east coast atv will be invovled with suzuki too.

[markk]

This is awsome, this is exactly what the QUADS need, Do you think they will sponcer any XC racers??? Yokley/Gallager?

[BlueZ440]

2 of the best riders out there in the same team..umm scary business. I feel sorry for everyone else.

[ex kid]

i hope the Suzuki holds up for Jones, the Yamaha didn't seem to fair to well for him.

Gust has already been testing the new 450 prototype that should be out by June 05. Yamaha should have not given all their money to keep Chad Reed.

[Bart]

It should be interesting to see if Jones and Gust can work together on the same team. Especially since both of them will be favorites to win the MX title next year.

Look where AC/DC lives. Then find out what 2 pro riders live in that town and you will know where he gets his info. He was the first I heard credible info about the YFZ450 and TRX450R.

[Shawn H]

Holy Chit he lives near Bill Ballance and JJ


So lucky :devil: Naw just teasing I already knew that.

[PEPwalshZ440]

Yea, Suzuki is prolly gonna build one killer quad and one ridiclously good team and destroy every1 or this z450 is ognna be a dud....we shall see

[montyjcm]

I don't think that it will be a dud. Look at the z 400 . . .

I think Curtis sparks motor work, and pulling every last possible bit of HP from the motor is what did in JJ this year...:( He was making the motor fast but not reliable..

[infantry317]

I think we'll all being seeing Yellow next year. RC, DG and JJ, man its gonna be tough for Yamaha and Honda to get good press unless they can do something about reliability for the big Quad MX dogs.

Hopefully Bubba can compete for 1st place in his first 250 season to make it interesting. I'm a little worried about that being Bubba isn't a smooth rider and seems to muscle his bike rather than make it do the work, it'll be tougher to horse a 250/450 for him.

[3rdtimescharm]

well with Jones going to yellow, does this mean that XC B. Balance is moving to the yellow team too. They could possible sweep it all XC bikes ( Smith) XC quads ( Balance) mx bikes (RC) and mx quads with (gust or Jones) hmmm,,, all posible

Honda better look for Farr/Natalie to team and get some money into the XC riders say Smiley/J. Rice team..

[z400ACDC]

Money talks but, Bill will most likly ride a YFZ.
