I didn't see anyone mention Reed's comment last night and it seemed like a pretty good slam towards big red. He also said " I know from having to ride that bike last year......Barcia has a lot of talent to make that bike work the way he does "
99.999% of the planet wouldn't have an issue with that new Honda since we can't ride them like the way they do.....and some owners I've talked to have said they love them.
BUT....I did get a little laugh at what Chad said last night......he didn't pull any punches with that comment.

The Shop
the haters are swarming.........of course every bike need to be improved, he just says whats on his mind but you guys
would rather him rote some sponsor diatribe to make you feel better
caveat: very little matters to "us" as far as those bikes go
If Reed has the need to say something provocativefrom time to time, let it be something well thought out and intelligent, not some backhanded compliment that doesnt directly come out and state the point.
Oh well, Chad and his opinions in the booth are still a good thing despite.
Pit Row
He's not afraid to say if he thinks a bike is shitty, that's more than most riders are willing to do.
It's going to ruffle feathers but at least he is honest.
Remember when Reed had a road race style swingarm fabbed up for the Yamaha 4 Turd? That was even before the current pile o shit (his opinion from what I recall). I do remember him leaving his broke bikes laying trackside for others to come retrieve.
Remember the rumors of him filling the Factory Kawasaki frames with cement or some other bs? Said they handled like such pieces of shit. Tried the magic rocks too didn't he? Now, magically the Kawasaki is good stuff.....that is until it spit him off.
Then there was the Honda that was so amazing that he went out and bought them on his own. What happened to that love affair all of a sudden? Getting spit off in grand fashion multiple times soured him on it?
As for why he might be pissed off, i'd be fairly annoyed if my contract said you'll pony up another bike and expenses for my 2nd rider and you say no too. Deano was going there. Honda stopped it. He's got every right to say what he feels like, and all he said is he doesn't think the bike works too well.
I'd guess he knows more than any media or internet fucktards, and either way, people bitch at RV for saying nothing about his injury, and bitch about Reed saying what he thinks about a bike. Fuckers can't win.
He Won the year before, the bike changed, he never looked like the same rider speed wise.. Yeah he might not have been fit, but that doesn't affect pace. The bike was and is clearly different to the one he wouldn't stop raving about the years before where he was winning. Turns out, he changes bike, gets on something he likes, and starts winning again! Whaddayaknow?!?!
Your hatred for the guy just clouds everything you say. It's lame and overplayed. You can't handle normal Aussie talk, call a shovel a fuckin shovel and who cares... Half you fuckers just cry over everything.
I also think the KX is the best bike on the track, rewind to when RV switched to the new bike, Unadilla 2 years ago I think ??? He has been unstoppable since.
I think the shared opinion is the KTM and HONDA are junk and the Kawi and RMZ are choice....for Pro riders anyway, for us common man, I think its all in the head.
Cement in the frames? Where did these rumours come from, a drunk in a bar?
