General Two Stroke Talk / Re: Mike Horban Qualified for Washougal on a yz250
« on: July 30, 2011, 01:09:09 PM »The bike blew up a couple laps into the moto. He actually had no intention of racing that bike, he brought a brand new 2012 KX450F to tech and the AMA told him to take it home, wasn't legal. Kawi hadn't submitted the bike for the homoligation rule yet so he was forced to unload the YZ. Thankfully it wasn't a newer YZ because those aren't submitted or legal either even though it's the same freaking bike.
He definitely intended on racing the YZ.
The 2012's are up to speed as far as being legal to race without a doubt.
Technically if they turned him away on a 2012 kx450f and he wanted to race the YZ in place of- he'd still be racing a illegal bike since it was a 2005 model.
