Manufacturers report by race or by year totals... http://www.moto-tally.com/NEPG/Manufacturers.aspx Hit the 'Total of All Events' in the drop down box. Thoughts?
The number of Hondas suprised me... Bollinger on the 250R Honda leads the 4 Stroke A Lites in the GNCC, has won the last 8 in a row and usually makes his way pretty far up into the OA; bike rips.
wish I could see these these numbers from 10-20-30 even 40 years ago, would be really interesting. I Have NFI what CTI is. anyone?
If and how big the letters "off highway use only" appear on the certificate of origion could factor in most folks actually have a plate in their state of residence not a dealer plate or an alternate easy to register in absentee one. National enduro means local enduro with higher entry fee and a couple dozen at most national guys or have things changed. I compared in the displacement classes 200,250 and open yamaha vs husqvarna. In the c class the ratio is about 4 to 1 in the b and a class the 200 and open the ratio is 2 to 1 while it remains bout 4 yamaha to 1 husky in the a and b 250. Not too sure how to tell four cycle vs two cycle for the rules lately. Even at 5 riders a minute some of the entries would take more than an hour to get off.
All Nationals now have no plate required. All Off road. No tiimekeeping either...al are start Cntrl and known checkout so plate has nothing to do with it now. most have 500 rider limit and yes they sell out all the time so like being on row 100 is possible. All goby displacement in us off road unlike europe (E1, E2 etc)
Thanks Joe, Back to studying the A200 and A open. I conclude the 125 based machine garners as many total in the all events combined listing, (11 for A-open and 10 for A-200) as all choices for the open. The 200 class only has one bike to choose from a 125/150 while the open has a 300 two stroke, a 310 four stroke, and a 450 four stroke. I also think the total list doesn't back out folks entering multiple events hence not unique people/bike.
KTM makes up 50% or more of each line except in the pro class where HSB grabs a 25% share. In the pro class KTM, HSQ, and HSB together make up 75% of the bikes. Will this years HSB pro's be next years HSQ pro's? What will this years HSQ pros ride next year?
40 years ago HSQ would replace all those KTM listings and if back east #2 would be something called a Penton :-)
