That fender is almost as bad as BMW's idea of what a front fender should look like.

That's because that ISBMW's idea of a front fender. BMW owned Husky when that bike was designed and produced. The the tc449 is just a BMW 450x with different plastics..

I know what you're talking about, but actually, even they are super similar...

All anyone knows is that he isn't going to RCH any longer because he wants to keep Team TwoTwo going. At least that's what Carey Hart said in a recent interview. But that doesn't discount Suzuki as an option does it....??

He clearly rode the bike and liked it.

I think it's pretty likely that it won't be a Honda. Suzuki and KTM seem to be the only options, that new Yami is not a huge departure from last years model and the kawi still requires a certain style to be effective.

The real question is, how much longer can we wait to find out?

Is Reed milking this for attention, or does he not know yet?

I read last week somewhere that he was going to announce it last Friday. I guess things are unexpectedly on hold.

He said Friday was deadline to decide, not to make an announcement.

You are right about that actually!

So it would seem he just decided it wouldn't be RCH but still hasn't deciding anything else...hmm

I was gonna say the same. Jeez...every time, the same deal. I don't know if Reed is just so much of an attention whore that he has to do the social media teaser thing each time he goes hunting for a new ride...or he really doesn't know?
