Post by: zcarlson12 on January 21, 2016, 08:35:43 AM: Definitely cool. John, you're right. That was Kyle Sands hybrid. He just built a 450r with a cr500 motor in it. I believe he owns KSR exhaust systems as well.

Yeah I think they said this one is a jb frame. It was the first one they had finished i think. Anyone notice the Hoosier tires? Hopefully that means they'll be making mx tires again.

Post by: Allison#51 on January 22, 2016, 12:34:57 AM: It also appears Honda may be getting back into the game, not sure the extent of it though. From atvmotocross.com -
"For the 2016 Mtn Dew ATV Motocross Championship, Joel Hetrick, David Haagsma, and Grayson Eller have joined forces to form the new Maxxis/Liquid Wrench/Elka/Honda Team. Besides just a great lineup of racers, the new team also has some of the best mechanics in the industry with Paul Turner, Allan McCostlin, and Shawn Ulikowski joining the team as well, which will surely make for a championship contending combination."

Damn now that's one 450 I'd like to own. Bad bad ass imo. Honestly the best looking 450 I've ever laid my eyes on. That's gotta be one proud owner.

Post by: Tbone07 on January 22, 2016, 08:41:53 AM: That exact quad was for sale in the Ohio area not too long ago. I think they bought it and changed a few things. I know 100% it was a JB frame and components, same colors and everything

Post by: Burns363R on January 22, 2016, 10:14:16 AM: All of the RRR bikes are built in there shop in Minnisota. They only had this one done for the photo shoot. It is a JB hybrid frame. Uppys and Rowes bikes will be Stock frame per the Pro Class rules. But they are all going to look the same.

This has no affiliation to Honda as far as official. This is just RRR paying homage to the legendary 250r.

Its no longer the Mt Dew ATVMX Series. It is now called the CST ATVX series.

I was just saying it appears Honda is backing Hetrick not Root River. I hope they are anyways.. That could be huge.

This picture is of Factory Sam Rowe-son of Matt Rowe. They all ran with us in WI back in the day. I bought some tires from Matt after the new year and he told me I was going to like the RRR team colors this year. Sam was just on minis when we were all on 250r's. We spent a lot of time with them and their family back then. Matt had a awesome LRD350 Powervalve in a Arens chassis which he parted out years ago. He would love to build another and let Sammy race it a few times. I think that would be awesome because the kid grew up on 2 strokes so you know he knows how to ride them.

Yeah looks like it. Might be for their crf 250 motor hybrids.

Post by: huntertools on January 31, 2016, 03:12:32 PM: I really like the new look and it will draw a lot of attention at the Nationals. The green bumpers made it easy to pick them out during a race but I like the R colors better.
Title: Root River Racing 2016 Throwback Scheme
Post by: Robsessed86 on January 31, 2016, 09:25:48 PM: I agree the R theme is killer. Best theme I've seen on any 450r yet. Great to see someone paying some respect to our R's.
