I love a good conspiracy as much as the next guy, so lets just say that noticing the exposed skin areas in the photo I always remembered Chad as a white guy O_o

Be interesting to see if the shedding of team management responsibilities will improve his results. I hope so. When he's on....he's damn near perfect. We shall see.

C'mon girls....that IS Chad Reed

And at this point he is probably trying out different pipes just to figure out the bike and get a feel of the respons.

And by that TBT he is probably reefering to him riding a Yamaha again after all these years.

Will someone PLEASE tell me HOW "launch control" is an added technological advan rmemt addition to production bikes that warrants the "cool" effect????

Other than serious pro level or expert level RACERS which make up about 5% of the buying public market AT BEST and even less when you remove all of those serious Racers that DIDNT get the bike for free, a lease, or next to nothing purchase price because of sponsorship. Of all the things a mfg could spend in R&D money to incorporate into a production bike line, incrporating this "magic button" still baffles me as to why it is so necessary for all of the Japanese Mfg's to include as standard on their bikes…. Its just something I cant imagine 100% of riders buying a new 450 will need let alone USE EFFECTIVELY and make it beneficial to them, remember it ONLY works off the start of a Motocross race, no need for offroad (gncc, enduro etc) races… and I don't mean to sound like a broken record but again it's someone who has to actually be dedicated to racing the bike which also dis-includes practice weekend warrior riders, hell weekend warriors in general. Less than 5% of people that buy the bike will ever need to use it, in contrast the 270mm new oversized disc brake on all the bikes now is a universal improvement the launch control IMO is one of the most worthless gimmicks ever Applied to dirtbikes in the fashion mfg's have joined together on.

I hope someone can prove my opinion wrong bec I'm likely missing a big deal here and I've racked my brain to understand the necessity just don't see a use for it at all especially Yamaha who has resisted the air forks trend . Rant over lol!

I'll bite.

Holeshot is huge key to winning, launch control increases odds and average starting position? It also saves the buyer from shelling out serious cash for a get or vortex ignition. I also don't think it cost them that much in r&d to design compared to new cases, head casting, cam profiles, etc. Low cost to put something "cool" and effective on the new model line.

Camera angles can make anyone look skinny, fat, lean or bulky. The things that point to it being Reed is 1 - his clutch lever position, anyone who knows what his bike set ups look like its in the exact position and 2 - his riding style.

Its Chad.

Is there really a discussion going around if that's Reed or not? Why the fuck does that matter? It's the 2016 Shift gear with all Reeds personal sponsors on Reeds instagram. Move the fuck on!
