Also, it sounds like Kenny may opt out of press day today, due to a back issue.

It's unbelievable these guys don't hardly get a break between a 17-round Supercross series and a brutal 12-round outdoor series. I don't know how they do it.

I like the fact that the champs always run number 1 in the states. Hardly anyone seems to do it in Europe and I think that's a shame. Should be proud to run the number 1

Good for Kenny now having that #1 and good for RCH for signing that caliber of a rider but that bike looks terrible to me.

Agree, the color combos on that look terrible. Amazing with the budgets these teams have, often weekend warriors can come up with better graphic designs.

Agreed!

Gold rims and a different seat cover would make a huge difference.

Very "MCR 450" ish. Not much Suzuki showing.

Shame because I think red plates on yellow looks great.

I think yellow shrouds and gold wheels would help a ton.

That seat cover looks like I put it on, in a hurry, after work, and a few beers.

Maybe we just pay more attention to detail because we pay retail for this stuff!!

I agree .Those ugly black shrouds and wheels really make it look like a weekend warrior at the dunes bike.

Whats the deal on that seat cover?

Oh well. I doubt his ugly bike will effect his results.

A. Everyone thinks their job is harder and sucks more than everyone else's.

B. Bike could look better.

Period.

Interesting how a thread about #1 platted bike ended up in a discussion about who works harder!

Is there anywhere a possibility to vote ugliest bike of the month.

This could win it!

It's impossible to determine what job or profession is "harder". Just like what Wasatch said......put Tomac or one of the other pro riders in the batters box in a MLB game and see how well he does. Throw Payton Manning on a dirtbike at A1 and see how he does. Living the lifestyle of a pro mx or sx racer isnt harder for those guys because they are gifted at it and it comes much more natural which makes it easier for them. Take Reed or Dungey or any of those guys and see if they can make it through Navy Seal training without dying in the first 4 hours. It's all relative.

Agree, ugly bike.

Front fender, shrouds, and rear fender should all be the same main color IMO. We don't see that any more in todays bikes.

On the flip side Tickle has fantastic taste in paint designs for his helmets.
