• • Part rei pa ting Yamaha Deale rs ordinary man would have been satisfied with 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 Kev in Windham, and was proclaimed 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 into the '98 YZ 125. Fortunately, Ed knows the price of victory is eternal research and development. t,; (4; Ilk ,,';1 'd Ho usto n Yamaha Mo ro rsports 9550 FM 1960 W . Ho ust o n.
