I highly doubt that's what Suzuki had in mind.

Didn't Chad say in a recent interview that he'd like to get villopoto for 22 motorsports???

Whether he can afford it or not is a different question.

More Chad getting people....he he. He can't even get himself.

Red heads look the best in green, old RV is getting top dollar and a 3 year deal at just under 8 million.

2 for 5 on orange is now 3 for 8 on green.

Didn't he take less money than his previous contract to stay with Kawasaki last time?

The race wins and championship bonuses seem to do the trick at the bank.

Honda factoryteam should be desperate now concerning last years troublestreak? The man above have forget them for a while when comes to injurys for sure. They need a winner even thou other teams on Honda doing good. That doesn't pay salary to the Factoryteam too long now. Hondacompany will shut it down probably in favor for better performance from smaller satteliteteams. That's my prediction.Cool

KTM can't afford 2 big riders..Suzuki can't afford one. Yamaha does not seem interested at the facory level anymore so that leaves Honda. I would say he stays on Kawasaki's.

From what I can tell, Kawasaki seems to have the deepest pockets nowadays. Poto aint going anywhere!

There is really nowhere else to go, i don't see him leaving kawasaki for any reason either. Would be interesting if he did though.

LB/JM Honda. If they can get Villopoto to sit down and just talk I think Brooks could pull his magic and find money. With RV at the table it would be that much easier for them.

Kawi isn't letting RV go anywhere until Cianciarulo is ready to step into the 450 class.

The only teams that would be able to cough up the Poto level type of pay grade would need big outside sponsorship or big money....I think H&H would have a better shot at signing Poto than team honda or or any suzuki squad.

Kawi-Monster-best bike-already there
KTM-Red Bull-RV would not ride this bike
JGR-Toyota/Gibbs-Yamahas suck
H&H-Pink-this would be a very very distant second place IMO but Kawi would not give him and parts...SOOOO
Suzuki-poor-is there even a team suzuki anymore ?
Honda-poor/cheap
TwoTwo-not rich enough
H&H-Pink-this would be a very very distant second place IMO but Kawi would not give him and parts...SOOOO

He ain't going anywhere because there is no where else to go, simple as that

If there's one thing Kawi does is low-ball the best rider on the planet in their prime... I mean, it's happened twice in a row, so why wouldn't it happen again?

Does anyone actually know when his contract is up or is this just speculation like 90% of the stuff on this site

Kawi failed to renew RC and James contract. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened with RV.
