Remember, this is a test project. This will guide the path towards the goal of getting a pro racer on a pro level bike
And don't be worried, you get to choose the rider.
Yeah, but the point is, if you are going to post on other websites about this project it needs to be done professionally to promote the website, the rider, and show that two strokes can still be competitive. If you go and put a C grade swapper out there in some local club races on an 01 YZ 125, and then go and boast about getting top five finishes on other moto websites, the project, the rider, the two stroke motocross website, and to an extent two strokes in general, will be considered a joke. In my opinion, starting such a project and using a 10 year old bike is a bad idea, unless it is done in jest to prove a point. Going all out on this bike to make it look "good" should not be the important part of a project such as this one. At the moment, this project to me seems to be heading in the wrong direction. A website that is reknown worldwide such as this one is, needs to realise that even if a "test" project is taken on, that a lot of people will know about it. If you are trying to gain some knowledge as far as putting a race team together, then keep it fairly quiet, and maybe put the odd post on the general moto talk page on this website. Don't go and advertise it everywhere. Leave that untill the real deal pro two stroke team is together, and develop a massive worldwide following, which, with a two stroke race bike, and the internet, would be easy to do. Look at the hype that surrounded Project two 50. That was crazy, and when it failed, everyone discredited it, and wrote off two strokes at the pro level. There is far reaching effects, that I dont think are being considered by those involved. My opinion, and I hope that it is at least read and taken in.
