Yamaha Dealers ordinary man would have been satisfied w ith building Motocross Action Magazine 's Bike of the Year twice in a row. Especially if the same bike won the back-toback 125cc AMA Western Regional Supercross titles under Kevin Windham, and was procla imed the best 125 motocrosser in the universe by everyone who knows there's no "r" between "moto" and "cross." After all that you'd think "Dr. Ed" Scheidler would spend the off season working on his tan. Instead, Ed and his crew built more power, better suspension, stronger brakes and a stack of other improvements int o the '98 YZ125. Fortunately, Ed knows the price of victory is eternal research and development. M,i/ittW Cycle Shack 119 41 SW. Fwy. Sufford.
