2019 Yamaha YZ250X And 250FX First Impressions

(Editor’s Note: Randy Richardson lives in South Carolina and is the two-wheel marketing manager for Michelin Motorcycle.

O’Neal Hardwear Rizer Pant And Jersey

O’Neal has been making gear since 1970 and I think Doug Dubach has been wearing it as long as I have been alive! To be completely honest with you, I haven't been a huge O’Neal fan in the past, but the last couple years the gear has grown on me and has really improved. I…

Pirelli Scorpion MX32 Mid-Soft Tires

I have ridden plenty of Southern California tracks along with some of the softest dirt I have ever ridden out on a Colorado farm field. If you haven't listened to my…

2019 Honda CRF450R Optional Suspension/Chassis Settings

If there is one bike that is sensitive to setting changes it is the Honda CRF450R. The 2019 version does have slightly more comfort in the chassis and have a little wider window (for setting changes) to work with than the 2017-2018 CRF450R. However, there is a couple very small things that can drastically improve…

Atlas Air Neck Brace Product Review

Neck braces…This is a tough topic in the world of motocross right? Neck braces are almost like a form of religion. You have a bunch of people preaching to you on how they believe in what “they” (neck braces) can provide for you, but it’s something that is up to you to fully believe in.…

50 hours on the 2018 Kawasaki KX250F on California’s best tracks

SoCal Speedster Riding and racing the 2018 Kawasaki KX250F throughout the year has been absolutely great.

FCP Racing Titanium Engine Mounts (2018-2019 YZ450F)

Out of all of the aftermarket parts I test, on any machine, it is the easiest to dissect what is good and what is bad on the Yamaha YZ450F. Why? Probably because it’s one bike (out of three) that I like to ride the most, so I am hypersensitive to any slight changes to any…

FMF 4.1 RCT Titanium Muffler System (2019 Kawasaki KX450)

The 2019 Kawasaki KX450 is the most improved machine of the new year, hands down! It has a very responsive engine character, comfortable suspension, a lightweight feel and cornering that is very neutral. I will be the first one to admit that I get nervous about sticking on any type of aftermarket muffler system when…
