Have you ever wondered what would happen if we pitted all the motocross shootout winners against eachother? We did, so we came up with our first-ever "Shootout of Champions: The Ultimate Motocross Challenge" to name the best MX bike of 2005. Pick up the April issue of Dirt Rider to find out which bike won, and more importantly, which bike is best for you. For now, check out these bonus pictures from our shootout at Castillo Ranch.
