As for you comment about Lambo's and what not, that isnt a fair statement to make. It comes off as being a hater. Not saying you are, just saying how it reads. Lets keep things above the belt.
Bubba has the opportunity to set himself and his family up for the rest of there lives. Private jets, the cars they want, the lifestyle they enjoy, everything for the rest of there lives. You cant blame him for making that the priority. We'd all do the same in his shoes. He's 2.5 years away from being set for life as his own trust fund baby and taking care of his family in the same fashion.
Cant fault him for that.
Yamaha offered more money to JGR. JGR was in return, able to offer more money to Bubba. Suzuki took too long to meet the Stewarts requests in what was already a overly long and drawn out process. Everyone needs to get off of Stewarts back. Even his non-fans. Once Bubba signed to JGR, the bike he was going to ride was not up to him. He preferred the Suzuki. Suzuki didnt make it happen in time. If anyone was simply going for the money and not the chance at a title, it was JGR. But can you blame them? Once again, the argument comes full circle. They are a business. If Yamaha offers more money, then you go with Yamaha. Suzuki dropped the ball. End of story. Especially when you consider that the money wasnt the problem with Suzuki, it was their lack of commitment.
OK, so I totally made up everything in my first post.... I just REALLY like the Super Chicken song!

Shouldn't matter, but seems it does...
Youre right a lil bit. RV is robotic, and somewhat cold. But that is just his personality. And he has no interest in changing it to appease his marketability.
RV has no interest in doing anything but winning races, collecting his checks, and then retiring off somewhere where he can hunt and fish for the rest of his life.
The crazy thing about this is that RX usually isnt in the rumor business. What do they get for posting this sort of information in Racerhead? And in the same article, saying that they dont think it will happen. The Stewarts are already hard enough for this sports media to gain access too and so with that, I wonder what the angle is that is being played here? Surely, RX doesnt want to piss off the Stewarts....I guess the question I would ask is, does revealing this rumor help the Stewarts in any way? I just dont know. All I know, is that DC mentions talking to Bubba and I'd assume he'd love to be able to continue talking to him. Any time a media member can say "after speaking with James" about a certain matter, it makes their story that much more appealing.
However, If anybody thinks Stewart and his current Yamaha are a better setup than this right here, you have to be out of your mind. The Yamaha may be a great bike, but it obviously isn't working with him, the same way the KXF450 didn't work well with Reed. Different riders have different styles and preferences.
Just a reminder...

I hasn't looked the same since going blue
As far as RV not getting talked about, seems like he is doing everything right without any drama i.e. he's the man right now. if he were to start riding a tub of shit and struggling every week we would probably see a lot more talk.

4.Psychiatry . a fixed false belief that is resistant to reason or confrontation with actual fact: a paranoid delusion.
What the fuck does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
So if it's all the bike's fault why was RV's lead over JS7 only in the single digits? Same bike right? The top 4 where all within 10 points. And if wouldn't have been for his error in Dayota, who knows?
I'm no hater of JS7, aside from his reality show, but IMHO a lot of fans need to come to grips with the fact that JS7 did not come totally prepared to race SX this year. Lots of valid reasons for this, but then again no one forced him to sign so late or to sign up to ride that Turd, AGAIN. I for one, sincerely want to see him in the title chase.
The irony to me is all the Reed haters / JS7 fans hated Reed for "whining" about bikes while at Kawi and Yamaha. Now the JS7 fans are beating that drum to death.
If it wasn't, why did RV race the one off race for a MILLION dollars??? That's right, its about the MONEY.
And RV wont break MC's or RC's records so the whole professional and records thing goes right out the window.
What someone buys with their hard earned cash is their business. Get over it man.
So there fore he can switch teams if he chooses to.
I honestly think this new Yamaha is the problem. But I know, Yamaha wont make another new bike until at least 2014. So now is the time to either move or stick it out and fix the problem.
problem is everyone and there mother seems to be sponsored by Red Bull including the nationals themselves, dunno if they have that amount of $$$
Pit Row
i dont blame him for signing with JGR....he wouldnt be making any $$ riding the suzuki..even if it was a better bike.
I can't see Red Bull signing up as a title sponsor and then James not being out there. I think the 2 go hand in hand.
Yes the bike is a problem, but like you said, there's got to be more to it considering his heat race and practice dominance.
And yes, bikes have gotten better. And the field is deeper so coming thru the pack isn't as easy as it used to be.
I believe James would be faster on a private built Kawasaki at the moment. The Kawi is just that good and Alessi has shown was a good private team built bike is capable of if the bike is a good platform to start from.
If the yamaha is soooooo bad why doesn't millsaps crash out every main?
Bet your ass the bike stewart rides is like a factory bike compared to the production
bike his teammate rides.
I've listened to the BS for years that bubba ( F.M.O.T.P. ) could lap the field on a 125,or a tricycle with a briggs engine
yet he can't do it with the best yamaha JGR can build?
I'm sorry I can't buy the "it's the bike" BS.
