Sounds like Valli and Metal Mulisha will be doing an SX team, too...maybe with Grant ? This month will have a LOT of shoes dropping, silly season, pretty much, has to be ended in September/Early October. Interesting that so many seem to be walking away from Yamaha's.

[Cokeham]

Wharton is on Rockstar Suzuki now

[WFO]

Reed/Burner Suzuki
Vali still on Yamaha with Rockstar (Deegan and Metal Mulisha and Grant are out for now)
Can't see Grant on Brooks team, he's not a Brooks type rider.

[MICKEYMEANIE]

Doesn't Grant have another year with Honda, or did they let him go?

[mb60]

I'm betting Reed stay's at Honda and maybe Byrner with him. And Grant and Regal on the new Brooks/McGrath team.
Not that I know anything but we will see either way. And Bubba on JGR Suzuki with Millsaps in sx/mx next year. Also we know Canard and Brayton on team Honda with RV and Weimer on Kawasaki.

[Kasberg187]

anyone else have some proof of what the other guys are riding?

Don't think Grant will be with Brooks or McGrath, and JBS will be on his own Suzuki, (no JGR) after he bends over and takes it from MK.
Reed might be on Red but might be on Yellow, depends on who gives the better deal
Who is going to take over the Rockstar Suzuki (Lites) team? Yosh? nah,.......JuJu,....maybe....
I plead the 5th on anything else! LOL!

Dungy's on a KTM for 2012-2013 season

Yeah I think JGR and JS7 thing feel through. On the DMXS show they said they seen him on a Honda, but who knows. I like all the who is riding what. it's fun to bench race about. Bet we all know by the need of next week.

Guy B reports on Vital that JS7 is testing with factory suzuki next week.

There is no "Factory Suzuki" next year. Yosh is going to be running Suzuki team now like they do for road racing.

Yosh has pretty much been running the team the last couple of years. It's the same team from what I have read but they are losing makita as a sponser.

Suzuki will not make it without a Major Sponsor....Yosh is not big enough to absorb the MX operations.

What proof do you have? A picture with someone riding a Suzuki, in Alpinestars gear, with the number 800.
