Yamaha will look to bolster its sales in the 125 market with the introduction of two new models to line-up alongside the YZF-125-R. The WR125X supermoto and WR125R enduro.
The new motorcycles follow along the same lines as the popular Yamaha YZF-R125 with full-sized chassis designs and the same 124.7cc liquid-cooled four stroke engine.
The new models will give an alternative to the already available WR250X and R with a newly-designed diamond-shaped steel frame and an enduro racing-style tank and seat.
These two motorbikes come with 41mm front forks and a seven-preload-adjustable rear shock.
Both also come with lightweight aluminium wheels, with the WR125R getting the same 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels that are fitted to the manufactures WR250F enduro race bike.
Stopping power is bolstered with the WR125X Supermoto getting a 298mm front disc with a floating two-pot calliper while the WR125R Enduro has a slightly bigger 240mm wavy disc at the front with the same floating calliper layout.
Both have a single disc and single calliper setup for the rear braking system.
And to complete the appeal, both machines come with a LCD display.
The WR125X will come in Racing Blue and Sports White, while the WR125R will be available in Racing Blue and Yamaha Black.

The KTM boys took both heat races just a little bit ago here at Miller. Heat race #1 was Chris Fillmore who pulled out a gap on Jeff Ward and Cassidy Anderson in the 4lap Heat. Anderson was able to work his way past Ward on the second lap and closed in on the top time getter in practice earlier in the day, Fillmore, but it was the HMC/KTM rider that got the win and the pole for the main.
Heat race #2 featured the other member of the KTM squad, Troy Herfoss who pulled a good size gap on Aprilia's Ben Carlson right off the start who in turn was in front of a hot battle featuring first, Dalton Dimick of the XXX Racing Fuels team, then Yamaha's Mark Burkhart sandwiched in between the teammate of Dimick, Robbie Horton. Burkhart was able to work his way past Dimick on the second lap and put his head down to close the gap to Herfoss but the man in Orange was not to be headed. Final was Herfoss, Burkhart, Carlson, Dimick, Horton. Should be some great action come Main event time!
250/Lites
In Heat #1 it was Matt Abbott was taking the holeshot followed by Casey Yarrow and then Lites points leader, Brandon Currie. On the second lap Currie made a pass on Abbott in the second dirt section and started to pull away. Behind Abbott was the battle featuring Johnny Lewis, Casey Yarrow, Andrew Hyder and Danny Casey. The four of these combatants battled through the 4lap event and the final order was Currie, Abbott, Lewis, Yarrow, Casey.
Heat Race #2 was a barn burner with Matt Burton leading Robert Loire, David Pingree and rookie Supermoto rider/Gray Davenport. The race would be a battle royale as Pingree and Davenport caught up to Burton and they all were in a conga line as they came across start finish for the last time.......Matt Burton, Davenport then Pingree all separated by less than a second.

Race #1 was a Darryl Atkins runaway with the fastest man in practice showing the way from start to finish over the rest of the field. Race #2 saw Steve Drew get the win over Josh Chisum and Micky Dymond rounding out the top three.

About a year ago I started my own video project which was supposed to be a compilation of all the best footage I shot during the 3 years I've been riding my bike. by large request I ended up making that video into a DVD. it contains footage of our ride-outs, trackdays and races (including the well known superbiker race at mettet)
I'm now putting up the complete video up for download. it's a low resolution version of the original to keep filesize down but it still contains all the footage.
info about the vid:
file format: .MP4 (viewable in quicktime, VLC or WMP with the right plug-ins)
filesize: aprox 740 mb
runtime: 58 minutes
download link:

(if site says "file not available" refresh page)
keep in mind this is a hobby project, it's not like ryan moore's X-dream film or trachy's instructional dvd when you look at quality or editing, I wish I was that good or had the resources to make something like thatI made the whole video in Imovie on my mac and burned all the copies of the dvd on my own computer with the sole intention of providing my friends and fellow riders with some amusement. now I wanted to go a little further and make it available to others as well.
enjoy!
