Id sure like to see him race the Zook at the MEC just because they have that bike sorted out for him. Just dont see them having the Red bike all ironed out that soon.

oct 1st most of the time. Most pro racer contracts expire the last day of september.

So Roczen is going to get 15 days or less on his new CRF450 before going for a million dollars?

There will be a public or typically formal statement about a fact, occurrence, or intention very soon.

Showa and KYB both already have works billet bodies for that chassis.

His PSF1 air forks use the production cartridge, damping rods, and tubing sizes... Same with Eli Tomac's AOSS forks. Eli's even has the production fork caps and adjusters.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's already riding one, maybe not a 2017 because I heard Honda only has a few of them in North America right now. Either way I don't believe October 1st will be his first day on the bike.

If HRC had one in race form for Bobryshev at the the USGP's, I've got to imagine they've given Kenny access to one.

They need to check his sprocket bolts before they get to it.

This has got to be the worst kept secret in MX, been discussed repeatedly in every MX media outlet.

I suspect Kenny, shortly after he signed the contract, had a few too many of those fruity drinks while sitting by the pool and got alcohol induced motor mouth. Loose lips sink ships.
