Be nice to see a VitalMX sticker in the spot vacated by Sycuan. How much for the season?

Just think of all the new members you could get to sign up by sponsoring a rider. Lol.

If only they used those horrific SlaterSkins, then the advertising dollars would really pay off!

What's up with Jelderda? He was flying the VitalMX colors for a while, then got injured (I think), and hasn't been entered in any national events for quite a while. Will there be any riders representing Vital in the upcoming SX season?

They changed their name 3 years ago to RCH. It appears they've lost Sycuan and Dodge. I'm guessing replacements are coming soon or they would have filled in the swing arm and front fender space.

Budget cuts on the photo shoot it seems. Pretty dismal backdrop this year.

Random prediction - Team folds at the end of year after losing more sponsors and Roczen.
I know the team changed name, but even last year there was a H&H logo on the airbox, this year it has gone, well at least for the team photo shoot

Anything out about them photoshoot or pictures of there bike?
There are a bunch of recent photos on the RCH fb page. The 2016 sponsors are represented in dedicated photos also. I knew I had seen some, just couldn't remember exactly where. The pics are not in order by date, so you have to scroll down quite a ways to see all the December postings.

I would not rule that out. I have always thought that it was a stupid decision of Ken to go to RCH. I'm not hoping that they fold but it would not surprise me after all the drama.

The rant that Kens dad went on was mostly true and Berluti "confirmed" that. Yet people tend to forget that.

I like the look, if only they could get rid of that blue part on the back fender. Just go all yellow. Now it seems to breaks the design flow of the bike to me.

Im kind of getting that feeling too ....just doesnt seem like there is as much excitement from the team as in years past almost as if theyre going with what theyve got and be done at the end of this year. I am basing this on a gut feeling so its not based on any info i "secretly" know LMAO!! They just dont seem to be as hyped as a team like They've been in years past. Again, just a gut feeling but wouldnt shock me at all if it did happen

Honda is going to throw the checkbook and a bad ass 2017 model at Roczen at the end of the 2016 nationals.

+ 1. The rmz450 is essentially 8 years old. The motor is slow (obvious during outdoors), overall bike is heavy, and chassis is stiff and unforgiving outdoors. I see Kenny doing better indoors than outdoors because of motor and stiff chassis.

The RMZ 250 he remembered in 2010 was ahead of it's time and a great bike. Current 450...not so much.

seeing him at Colorado (at the age of 15) when he was battling Canard at MXON on that bike was epic. Such a sick battle between them.

I think plenty of people have made the RMZ 450 look damn good lately...

IMO...the Yosh is the best looking of the bunch, with the Motorcycle Superstore a distant second.. Too much black/white on the RCH bike for me.

Clearly you didn't catch the nationals where gopro footage showed Kenny being yarded on the starts. Also, feel free to use correct grammar....including capital letters and periods, Bro.
