Just let him race it and DQ his points for the day.

C'mon AMA, he just won the title, you manipulate every other rule however you like, why not this one too? Dry

Like posted in the other thread, AMA has to have a frame and other engine parts to compare measurements from the homologated bike. They don't want to hold onto 10+ years of parts so the cap was placed at 5 years.
We can pretend that's the reason for the sake of being good ol boys for the manufacturers but the truth is it's quite easy to carry drawings and charts of critical measurements. The rule is really about selling new bikes for manufacturers.

I don't care if you like the 4t or 2t that would have been epic to see him rip that bike around

I am now dead inside.

On a side note though, is Stankdog's bike even homologated? I thought it wasn't and MXSports just looked the other way...

Just makes you wonder where outdoor motocross would be if AMA ran it alone. I'm sure hill climbing and flat tracking comes to mind when these idiots had control of it.

My heart just literally broke in half. I sure hope Kenny can at least gives us a video ( Raw! ) and as long as possible of him shredding the hell out of that thing!

So you're not confident that RCH would have built a solid bike that isn't falling apart? They will say it's in the name of safety, sure.
I don't see the word Safety anywhere in my post... My point was, they had to draw the line somewhere, and they arbitrarily chose to limit the age of bikes to 5 years. It could have been 7 years, it could have been latest model, or they could have asked Vital to decide, but they decided on 5 years.

I'm thinking of selling my 2 stroke for this very reason. I like two strokes, but I like my sanity even more...

Why not just build a Suzuki RM250AF? Just put the 2 smoker in a 2016 frame? Would that make it legal to race?
If they paid the homo fees and sent 300 owner's manuals by marche 1st, it would have been legal.

That would be the best race of the season. Wouldn't it be way more tricked out if he was going to race it? Looks like stock suspension, hubs, levers, clamps etc.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. Kenny learned from the master, his buddy CR22.

Question 8/26/2016 7:59am
8/26/2016 7:59am

What is the rule regarding pre series? You know the bikes that are not yet homologated with the 500 units at the dealership, but ok to run 1 year like that like Dungey did in 2011 ?

Because if you cant run it with the current 5 years rule, change the vin and make it a special pre series test 2017 (a lawyer would call this "text interpretation" in french).

I guess there is no penalty when a bike has been run but later didnt met the 500 and was never launched. (Unless RCH make a new business by buying 500 RM that they rebuild and sell)

When there is a will there is a way Evil

By the way he should put every RMZ parts (suspensions, brakes, etc) on this RM to feel like home, just keep the RMs frame plastics and engine!

He isn't trying to win a championship on it or saying its superior. He just wants to go out and ride a 2 stroke for one race that has little to no impact on his career. I don't see where the lack of logic and reason falls into place.

And it isn't far fetched for him to want to . He did it in the GPs .
