Well with the new season about to start I was wondering how many changes there have been with Pros (MX or Cross Country) switching brands. Who will be riding what? If anyone has sneak pics that haven't been posted a thousand times, lets see them.

Heres what I know for sure with MX:

Team Kawasaki
-Jason Luburgh
-Josh Creamer

Suzuki
-Doug Gust
-Dustin Wimmer
-Kory Ellis

Honda
-Tim Farr
-Josh Upperman
-Keith Little
-Joe Byrd
-Harold Goodman

Yamaha
-Pat Brown
-Travis Spader

I'm curious about guys like Haavisto, Lawson, Weinen, etc

Arno is riding a Walsh equiped honda 450r.

As far as i know haavisto is on a lost creek suzuki, lysinger is as well on a lost creek suzuki.

Donny lamborn with east coast has still been on the yamahas.

Chad Weinen and his brother Matt are on Honda's and the motors are built by Dee Manshack at Rage ATV. Thats where Chad and Matt are now, in Texas. As far as suspension goes I don't know....I'm guessin PEP or Custom Axis shocks with Walsh or JB Racing components......

They arent factory Honda, though. They are privateers.

Yeah I assumed Weinen would be on a Honda again. I think he's using 05's again too. I've heard that Haavisto did switch to Suzuki like you all are saying. That would be great for him if Lost Creek picked him up. He definitely could be a top contender consistently if he got some help. He's a great guy! So Rocco Arno switched to a Honda?

Yay for Rocco! Glad hes throwing a leg over a 450r now. I bet he grips and rips on this new ride.

I got to spend a good bit of time on our local track in the off season with arno. Im not sure if he looks better on the honda or the yamahas to be honest with you. Either way he was ripping it up! Also haaviston is definetly riding suzuki with lost creek. I had also ridden with him at mototown last month in CT, he also looked very good on the suzuki.

I think with all the changes this year and with kawi coming into the picture with alot of support behind there riders should be interesting. Im gonna say its gonna be the year of the younger group. They have all been training their butts off and its gonna show! Anyone know a def. on whos gonna be racing the mill creek nat. pro wise?
