Steve was talking about this on the pulp show yesterday, anyone think its true? Would he be going for more money and less of a bike?

hopfully, hes proven unworthy of being at factory honda, even seely's had a more succesful season in the 450's

I really think he'd be best on a ktm 350, hes light and he still has the 250f rev limiter riding style and cant seem to adapt to the 450's whereas seely already has the 450 style.

The JGR bikes have looked pretty impressive in my opinion.

Agreed, the bikes have looked flawless in the whoops. Of course, Yamerhammers have always been good in the whoops. I'm thinking the bugs are about gone from the new bikes.

I can say that my 14 250f is an amazing machine. I think yamaha has really figured some things out. The bike is super stable and it handles well. Obviously yamaha has good engines. But the handling is the impressive thing. Some people bark about the light front end. To be honest, the aggressive riding these days(over the front) makes the bike feel right at home. Love it!

I rode a 14 450, I thought that at my level of riding, I would never feel the front end issue you hear about....I did. In about the second corner I could see what people talked about (I bleed blue by the way) After riding it for a while, I started to get use to the front end and could actually do turns better on it than my 09 YZ450. Its weird but it seems you can corner like a 2 stroke on it.

As for the motor, its a beast. fastest 450 stock I have ridden and I would be looking to tame it down for my old butt. Front brakes on the bike I rode where also off the chart. Almost endo'd numerous times, front brakes where incredible.

All in all I thought it was a great bike, but you would have to ride it for a day and then start to change your style for the lighter front end.

I have never rode a 10-13 to compare it too.

Barcia rumors going to Gibbs is only making Cole Seelys stock go up. Barcia, a renowned good starter, cant get a start on the Honda yet Cole Seely doesn't have a problem getting starts, running up front in a most stylish manner.

JB on KTM350 sounds like the best idea. Would love to see that with his style.

how?

They had one of the best riders of all time in js7 and that didn't work out. How much bigger should they go? Offer villopoto 10m/year and a great lake bonus for a dual championship season?

barcia is a big name, his results have lacked but he has the talent and aggression to be top 3 imo.

The way Matthes told the story it seemed like it was happening. The whole bar bend thing...

I kinda agree. Now they've got the bike they've gotta swing for the fences again.

I think Barcia is great but I also don't think he can beat Kenny, Eli, Dunge or RV to a title on big bikes and not Deano outdoors.

Problem for them is tho, who's left?

So you think Seely is better at factory Honda than Barcia but does his lack of outdoor (11th overall) speed warrant a position if some of you think he is better than Barcia (450 MX 3rd o/a 2013). I don't think Honda will want to see there bike outdoors with Seely at the controls fighting his 2013 11th o/a place (250). Also do Honda take another gamble on Trey as lets face it he is off the bike more than he is on it. Maybe Trey leaves or go's elsewhere? No I'm not hating on Trey i think he's a great ambassador for the sport but as Weege said the only loyalty in mx is the podium and to get them you first must be on the grid. Do they demand Eli pits under there rig?
There bike must be terrible. Matthes commented on a show a couple of weeks ago about Reedy trying out all the brands and that he still has the 08 CRF450 and Reed commented that he guarantees that 08 bike is better than the bike there got now. I think Honda are in a world of hurt next year in my opinion
