Apparently he will be racing 2018 in the 450 class.

And Barcia still cannot get a ride.

Those rumors I have heard of he being hard to deal with in the pits and team might have some teeth to it.

Agreed with the crazy talent. I think he can win the whole thing tomorrow.

Isn't hanny doing it on his own with just a couple of sponsors and not really a team?

Not like this is a factory team, Barcia could easily have a similar deal equipment and support wise I would think.

Glad Hanny is still out there giving his all. Hard to deny the guys talent and such an awesome guy to watch ride. Hope the best for him in 2018, also on the 450! He might be a 15th place rider or crack the top 10 at times, but no denying he's one of the favorites to watch! Glad to have him in the mix.

I love Hanny. Stoked to have him in the class. How old is he now? Totally cool.

Good looking Zook, too.

Hanny is the man, I've ridden in the hills with him before and it's definitely a sight to see. Hes one of the most naturally tallented guys on a bike with some insane style. I think he can still podium tomorrow even with the injury. He was going huge in practice hitting a quad section, I'm not sure I've seen anyone else do it yet.

Hanny is looking fast!! Anyone know if he's trying to do the whole SX series?
10/21/2017 1:50am
That's a 2016 or older RMZ. Any history on it?
I can't believe he'd simply choose an old model over the new one? That must be an ex RCH bike or something?

Read the article, he explains the reasoning behind it.

My guess, we see him in numerous LCQ’s. Hey, just a prediction based on last couple years efforts.

Kinda impressive that he's still riding in the pro class even if he's 33 years old.

Sad to see his Husky deal go away, that bike was mean!

Mr. Endurocross hit that section, Colton Haaker.

I have been waiting to see JH100 racing a 450 and Suzukis have been strong bikes.

The 2018 is very different and I understand the companies having to take time to build new parts. I 100% (LOL) understand his wanting to start on the proven 2017

I was just wondering last night if he's done or not. This is good! We need all the interesting players we can get out there.

Hopefully he will train hard and show us what we all know a focused Hansen can do.

Suzuki don't have anything ready for 2018 model yet and missing parts. Even JGR is still developing parts and setup.

He could definitely get a gig with one of the graphics company when he retires, always has one of the best looking bikes out there

some things look surprisingly stock, is that part of his deal with factory suzuki? to leave certain components looking like a showroom bike? i thought that was more factory teams only
clutch and brake levers
hubs (look stock but assuming trick)
showa shock doesnt look as fancy as some we've seen
triple clamps stock?
