I think I get why, it seemed like they didn't even know, till recently, that they would be racing. Bogle and Tickle have been hurt a lot, if they show they can be 2 whole series front runners, the sponsors will be there.

I was hoping Kawasaki would pick up bogle, I really think he is one of the next big things!

The bikes look great. The team gear looks almost as bad as JGR. They are competing in a who can look the most unlike a team contest.

Bike is the best looking Suzuki in many years, clean, simple and colors flow nicely. What gear is Tickle wearing? It doesn't look like Answer to me.

Freakin sucks the way pipes are designed now to meet sound regulations. The added length increases exposure and I have found out the hard way how easy titanium will dent once it becomes warm. Dented my RS-4D and Akrapovic muffler can in the exact same spot. I don't pay a premium price on these mufflers only to have em fold like tissue in a wad up that I walk away from. Oh well I can appreciate the direction Honda is going by tucking in their twin pipes to centralize mass.

Man those Zook's are starting to look dated. Can't tell if 2008 or 2017.

Didn't have anything there last year when they had all these big name sponsors.

I'm picturing a bright blue seat and blue instead of black in the graphics . . . Perfect.

And yeah, I'm starting to appreciate Honda's duel exhaust.

So much better looking than JGRs bikes

looks great. I do miss the "freaky fast" logo. it was cool to have a different sponsor logo.
I still say Gatorade would look awesome on a bike and would make some kick azz commercials.

Man, I am digging those bikes looks. I'm a Suzuki guy so I'm biased but that graphics layout and color combos are perfect. And is that Ti-Ni I spy on those fork legs? Haven't then been DLC coated all previous years?

Honda knew the coming sound rules would force long mufflers. Honda designed dual-muffler bIkes ahead of the curve. They look pretty smart now. Probably even smarter in five years.

Wonder what kind of patents they may have pertaining to duals like the old brake line trick did for them. Honda conspiracy bros.

I am not one to hijack a thread, but with so many comments on social media today, I want to show the difference in the size of the RS-4 and the new RS-12. Top is a production RS-4, middle is the RS-12 for Supercross and bottom is last years Supercross RS-4. The new RS-12 is shorter than last years system, the dB's are lower and it performs better.

Yellow black and gold. A proper Suzuki. Same as Albertsons was with the Blue. Proper.
