He won the British Supercross championship on this bike last year.

Interestingly enough, this years series commences this weekend in Belfast (his home event) and it'll be very interesting to see what he actually rides come race time. They done a TV demo for event earlier in the week and he was on a 4-stroke (cough, cough, spit, spit), hopefully the 2-stroke will be the bike that faces the starting gate.

I just watched a youtube video of them riding on track, and he is riding that 2-stroke bike, not a 4 stroke, in fact its that exact bike looks like, I bet that photo was taken from there.

Hes the man.

Gordon goes both way!!  :P :P :P :-* :-*

Really, depending on who his sponsor is, he talks down the two-stroke, but when he's on his own, he seems to ride them... kind of funny how that happens!!

I hope that he races it and does well.

Gordon is one of my Facebook friends... are Facebook friends like real friends??  :o :o "cause I have some interesting friends on there!!  :P :P

That looks like the bike I was building until I found out it wasn't legal in AMA racing.

How come the bike wasnt legal.  Did it have something to do with the weight.

I imagine since Devin races pro and that is not a production bike?

It was not legal but of AMA homiligation (spelling?) rule or something like that. Basically for two reasons, because the bike has to be production which the 250AF's are not because the frame is altered and it is not the frame the motor was meant to be in and because there has to be at least 300 a year available for purchase in the US every year. Or in other words cuz they know I would make their 4 strokes look stupid with a 2-stroke motor in the frame.
