Makes you wonder how much Reed rode a Yamaha while on Kawasaki .. Burner always had his YZF at his place seems way to comfortable to only just getting on the bike and seems real happy..

I do know of Australian pros - one in particular sick Mick when with Kawasaki kept comparing the bike to the YZ and it did his head in because he could go quicker on the YZ .. They used to say don't ride another brand as it will mentally fuck with your head.

Would seem to me that could of happened with reedy when with Kawasaki ..

Either way good to see reed doing what he is doing!

Wasn't he on the Yamerhammer at the Monster Cup. That was in October. And when did he fold up shop last summer. I'm betting he was zinging around on the Blue bike since that time.

But wasn't he going equally fast on a Honda....'12 wasn't it? Before busting his knee.

Just as much as he probably had a Kawasaki at his place while riding the Factory Honda....plus he had a KTM there too I think?

But does it matter?

Reed will go fast and can win on any brand but when he does not do well he then blames the bike.

Reed will do top 5 on any bike but with Yamaha he seems to be really at ease

Ever think maybe there is something wrong with the bike? Or does he complain about the bike too much for there to actually be an issue with it?

Mate I am just stating what I have seen with a pro, he hated his Kawasaki mainly because he kept jumping on a YZ and was faster. Instead of trying to just work with what he was sponsored by green...

I have heard pros before saying I don't want to try he seemed miserable aon the green machine but when you are paid to ride that brand and know you can go faster on another it deflats your confidence. And deflats your attitude

What years was Cook on a Kawi?

I can't picture him on anything, maybe a Honda early on?

Fair enough, I had not heard he was unhappy on the Kawasaki ...only the Honda in 2013 (factory fork mostly I think)
