Supercross. Jeff Emig won the 125cc main for his first career Supercross
victory… Smith was pictured on the cover for his win at the AMA Hare &

Years Ago
FEBRUARY 16, 2000
We test rode the all-new 2000 Honda CBR929RR, which was featured
on the cover of Cycle News 20 years ago… We reported that the last
living man to have raced motorcycles in the board-track era, Jim Davis,
had passed away at the age of 103… Jeremy McGrath got back to
winning at the Houston Supercross after having been beaten by David
Vuillemin the previous two weeks. Derrick Shae Bentley won the
125cc West main event… We tested the GasGas XC250 off-road bike.

Suzuki colors 40 years ago. Suzuki signed the multi-time 125cc
MX Champion for the 500cc class in 1980. (Below) Gary Jones
out-dueled Gary Bailey and John Rice for the 125cc Amateur/
Expert-class win at Perris Raceway 50 years ago.
