[QUOTE="bedell99, post: 682288, member: 18299"] Don't speak so soon Coop37. If you follow street bikes, you would know that Honda is also using the same casting techniques. I think this benefits all of us and do believe that one day "most" of out motorcrossers will be aluminum framed. I also think that this give us more options. I believe yamaha can learn from honda on the frames, just as honda learned from yamaha on there 4 strokes. Aluminum is an inherently more stiffer/brittle than steel, but with these new casting techniques employed by both honda and yamaha I feel they will figure it out how to employ the right amount of flex in there frames. Here are 2 links that explain how yamaha and honda are using this process. I can't wait to see what our children will have in 10 years to ride.
