AFT's foot is bleeding. No Indians, half the field are Indians. XR750s are excluded too. Even ridden by Aussie Sensation Max Whale, the XG750R is Street Based and not competitive with Indians, or Yamahas or KTMs or Royal Enfields. Who will this mainly American Motorcycle fan base root for?

Indian have been the backbone of the series for years now and with Missions generous entry into the sport, things were pretty good. So now we will have SuperTwins fields made up of mainly Privateers on Home Made Hot Rods. Yamaha will clean up and they will be booted because its all Yamaha. Lets hope Indian are saying " Fuck it ! lets build the worlds wildest Scout, hang a raucous pair of Open Megaphones down the side and go get the Plate one more time!"
