It's probably been discussed before, but I just couldn't get over how good his bike looked in the chop compared to everyone else.

His style and how he rides the bike (low in the rpms) really help the bike look like it's floating over bumps.

A technically strong rider can ride any bike.......that has a good set upCool Also riding low the RPM allows the suspension to function much better.....supple....

Yep!

Into every corner Kenny looked like he was doing it easier than Dungey cause he was standing and feet on. Same as MXDn in germany, Dungey is sitting down and bouncing everywhere.

All the races this year, the tracks have developed somewhat similar. I'm looking for Dungey to get better now that there are some softer surfaces coming up, he looks more comfortable at Millville, Red budd, Budds Creek etc, seems to work with his style more.

Agreed...came back late from bicycle ride to catch the last few laps of second moto on the tube and the first thing I noticed was how planted and hooked up Roczen's bike was. Hard to imagine it could be much more dialed than that on another team.

KR94 IMO is the most dialed rider right now and everything is working perfectly. I CANNOT believe he would throw a wrench in the works and make a change in any part of his program. Sounds to me like the worst case of career suicide in history. Just face the facts.

Just because he makes the bike work does not mean he likes it. I think that dungey and roczen hate that bike. I don't believe that kTM couldn't match RCH's offer. So the only other option would be maybe to not be on the same team as one of his close competitors? But he's been on the same teams as the guys he's battled for championships with since signing with kTM. And I'm pretty sure unless Ricky gives dungey the boot they are still gonna be riding together on the reg.

it isn't the bike, nor the $$$. Kenny is leaving because he is sick of sucking hind tit at KTM. As long as Dungey is there, Kenny will always be the #2 guy, regardless of who beats who.

Sorry guys, #1 and #2 don't put 30 secs on 3rd and lap 30 out of 40 riders in 30min on bikes they "hate". The KTM's are winning scoots. The reason any rider looks for another team is the same reason we normal spodes change jobs. Money, Ego, Work environment, Personality conflicts, Benefits.

Do I know this beyond a shadow of doubt? No. But I bet the "fly on the wall" knows it is.

He will be fine where he is going. Top notch team with experts in making the bike work for the rider.

k rock has said many time s, he does not like the bike , put him on any bike and he could win , maybe just maybe he likes the rmz better , hence why he is leaving , I am not saying the ktm is a bad bike far from it , but is it as good as the kxf or the rmz , maybe not

its the $$$$$ plain and simple. Suzuki is broke, Suzuki in japan hasn't done anything exciting in years, RCH has BIG sponsor $$$ plain and simple. im just shocked that ktm didn't give him a check and say write what u want. #94 is the next # 2. and ktm is plain and simple dominating with bike sales and the place to be right now. he probably doesn't get along with decoster or some kinda management imo, not the bike.

So much fail in this post. #1 and #2 riders hate their bikes and we know this how? Because you "think" they do! And KTM doesn't have the pockets to match a RCH offer? Do you know anything about revenue? Spend some time researching revenues of each race team and let me know what team has the most money to spend.

You guys should of heard Roger on DMXS, he was pretty open about it, and flat out said, "We did everything we could to keep him"

I really hope he is making the right decision. I know he sure fit well on the Suz 250 back in the GP's.

Honestly.....I don't think it matters what bike Kenny is on.....he'll make it shine. Rookie outdoors on a big bike......he is giving us a glimse into the future of what he's going to be capable of. If I said " He has a very bright future in this sport ".......that would be an understatement!
