I'd love to hear this number. Even an estimate. I wonder how new/newer latest generation RM's he has left or laying around waiting to be used. Maybe 10? Maybe none? Maybe he buys them as he finds them? Maybe they have been using the same ones since they stopped making them?

How many do you think are laying at the bottom of a pond/lake?

Fun to think about.

Prolly' more than any 10 other people...combined. I think he's getting close (RMs used) to the number of beds that George Washington slept in.

This bike was on display in the Fox Store in Yokohama, Japan for a while before it closed in 2002.

I went to his house in 03 or so and he had 2 or 3 of them out and one in a crate. It's gotta be a lot!

He was a factory rider back then. Plus, they still made them at that point. Last time I looked into it, he leased his bikes from Suzuki so I'm not sure if he has stockpiled them. Some of his RMs have been 125s as well.

I believe the correct question is how many bikes has pastrana destroyed?!

In addition, I wonder how many he has ridden just for a single appearance, promotion, or race.

That's the interesting number and I'm guessing it would possibly go into the high hundreds or thousands.

Yup, and you are correct. One of the RMs out was actually a 125

I kind of meant RM's in general. But I'm sure he's used mostly 250's.

It's funny how disposable the two strokes seem to be compared to his four strokes. You'd think it would be the other way around with them still making the 4 bangs!

He only rode 125s for the first couple years of XGames competitions. That's all he was given.

He would sing those little things around the course. It was definitely a different riding style from the rest of the freestyle riders
