Looks good with the solid blue at the top of the shrouds/tank... slimming!

I wasn't a fan of the silver. I bet those bikes are bitchen. At this point, i believe it is hard to argue against the yamahas as being the best team out there. Crazy how it all changes.

Heath Harrisons little brother. Heath is 99 on a privateer Kawi. Mitchell is incredibly talented. They are from Alabama.

My bad, made the assumption seeing them ride together, etc. around here in the past. Never asked.

Another big change in the team; long time engine guy Brad Hoffman is the team manager, while Steve Lamson is no longer with them.

Brad Hoffman, Damon Huffman's little brother. I saw them shredding at the X-games one year

The bikes look more 'factory' now. Less Rockstar money (duh- it went to Husky), more Yamaha money.

Great looking bikes, IMO. I'm not a huge fan of blue being the Yamaha color, and never will be...but the Star Racing team has a clean, professional look that I am a fan of.

Like Xeno said...more of a "factory" look.

The Star Racing bikes have not had any Rockstar branding since 2012. Lately It has only been on the gear and helmets.

Not sure why, but this pic has an 'O'Mara' look to it.
The Star team has come sooo far from inception. Hat tip to Mr. Regan.

Yeah, the radiator shrouds look a little blocky to me, but I prefer the Yammy plastics by far over the KTM and new Kawi ones
