Needs to be a 2011 or newer currently I believe... 5 years for AMA right? Suzuki had 2012 two strokes down here but I think they got shit-canned way before that in the US...

They've looked the other way for privateers in the past. Just because everyone thought it was cool to see a KX250 or RM250 going for it. But this is slightly higher profile. Would have been cool!

I just died a little more inside.

It was sweet when Kailub Russell raced a 150 last year in the last couple GNCCs. KR1 and KR1 want to race 2 strokes? coincidence... I think notLaughing

Too bad...it would have added some excitement an otherwise meaningless race.

Is it any older than the 450 he is riding now.

Maybe his new boss has already banned him from riding smokers. Laughing

Would have been, he's done it before in 2011 on a 125.







What is the purpose of the AMA not allowing "older bikes" compete?

The least he could do is get some video of him sneaking it out during practice....

Manufactures need to sell new bikes.

We should start a petition?! haha. I think the rule should be amended for last gen 2 strokes, or maybe a 1 race max if the rider/team wanted. Unfortunately it will never happen...

Like posted in the other thread, AMA has to have a frame and other engine parts to compare measurements from the homologated bike. They don't want to hold onto 10+ years of parts so the cap was placed at 5 years.

So you're not confident that RCH would have built a solid bike that isn't falling apart? They will say it's in the name of safety, sure.

Ken might just be attempting to get a rise from the masses with this post. That bike looks like it might be missing the critical component that would make it a 250 and/or a two stroke. Would RCH be building new bikes for Roczen at this point, other than those required for him to finish out his contract? Isn't that the main issue with riders switching teams and skipping the MXoN?

He and Stew should do it.

They could at least make an exception to the rule for current and past National Champs. It's not like he could win on that thing anyways...well...probably.

Why not just build a Suzuki RM250AF? Just put the 2 smoker in a 2016 frame? Would that make it legal to race?
