This was found on another website!!



"After declining a satellite team deal with Suzuki, Palm, PA's East Coast ATV announced today that they will be switching from Yamaha YFZ ATVs to Honda TRX450R ATVs. East Coast has had phenomenal success with the Yamaha YFZs this year. John Natalie finished the season with a highly respectable runner up overall score, while rookie Dustin Wimmer ended the season with an outstanding 6th place overall finish. Gil Attix managed 15th overall. "Last year it was pretty much a Yamaha dominated pro field. The Yamaha's worked excellent for us. We just wanted to be a little different in 2005, thanks to Montomeryville Cycle Center we're going to give the Hondas a try", says East Coast's Dave Gibson.

As for the switch, Gibson admits his three man pro team of Natalie, Wimmer and Attix are skeptical but look forward to the change. "The Honda is a great quad it just needs a little tweaking to make it more competitive on the motocross track. We already have a good idea what it will take to get them ready, and we're going to take the next few months and do nothing but testing to make sure we're dialed in perfectly come round one", says Gibson.

We're told their new Hondas will feature Gibson front ends and stems, Gibson swingarms, Maxxis Tires and Axis Suspension. They will feature candy blue frames and black plastic.

Amateur East Coast riders, Michelle Reiser, Freddie Reiser, Brian Tait and Chris Tait will remain on their Yamahas in 2005."
