thsp485 Posted November 30, 2020 The big difference for the Martin brothers and 2021 is that there will be no Cooper Webb there and the drama that swirled around him and caused the bad mojo with the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The brothers are on 2 separate teams. Jmart is on the factory Yamaha Star team. Alex is on a satellite Yamaha team. I really need to stop in at Rock River one of these days and check it out. I literally drive past it multiple times a month on my way to and from the cabin. I believe they have prepped race bikes for sale on the showroom floor.

A small town right off the I-94 between Milwaukee and the state capital of Madison. I just checked their website and they only have 2 modded bikes listed. Nothing crazy though, just suspension, full exhaust etc. Probably have more bikes in spring when their riders are trading up to new models. Oh, they do have one of their custom race trailers listed for 99,000. Edited November 30, 2020 by Zinergy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe that was 2015.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, 2015 Jeremy won the title on the factory Yam and Alex had a great season on the Rock river Yam. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing Yamaha kicks in some funds. But I think Star controls their own stuff. That doesn't mean that there aren't Japanese works cranks in there. Star with the 250 was never in the same situation that the 450 factory team was in. With Yamaha USA guys calling the shots on the 450 team.

sheath Posted December 1, 2020 J-Mart has to be trembling. He thought all the horse power was his. 😉 2021 is looking good! What happened to Noren. Has he been picked up yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
