Glad to hear MattyB got a ride.
In other news. First bike for sx ive seen with the BFRC shock, and on top of that RG3 stuff, how long has it been since you've seen RG3 on a team bike.
No knock to those guys, they helped me track down some akit parts, rad guys.

That Yoshimura RS-4 looks way better than the new Yoshimura RS-12 that JGR is running. Has the RS-12 even hit the market yet? Feels like it was over a year ago since we saw that pipe for the first time.

RG3 stickers will be on the JGR 250 bikes as Rob has been contracted by Suzuki to work with that team...

No current kit Showa shock will fit the RM-Z ‘18 chassis so Matty would’ve needed the direct Showa support that Hanny has or KYB support to get a billet “Works” shock to run.

JGR just moved their motor division out of house right? Suspension is still there so why wouldn't they use that to their advantage for advertising vs going with a competitor?

So every 18 rmz 250/450 racing will either have a works billet shock or a bone stock bfrc unit? Are there any upgraded internals for that thing yet to get it more to a 'kit' shock?

So there's 2 factory Suzuki teams sponsored by CV ranchers? I grew up on an almond ranch, guess I should have stuck with the family business.

I think the customer suspension business is over as well. Note there’s no JGR fork Stickers on the 450s of Peick or Bogle. And as I mentioned above, Rob of RG3 is actually contracted by Suzuki per my understanding.

Be interested to know what parts from last year will carry over. Guess forks, wheels, clamps, transmission and some engine parts. Factory ECU's

Oh, well excuse me then....

Nope, my comment was directed solely at hansen, who, imo, is a punk that has pissed away every opportunity given to him.

He gets a few good finishes and coasted on them since.

I dont care about his tattoos, but you and the other hansen fan boys just go on believing that is the reason a lot of people don't like him and don't think there is anything to get excited about.

If he is lucky he may get a top 10 finish before he disappears and takes his drama with him by the halfway point of the series.

I am not the last that will feel a yawn coming on when his name is mentioned here like he is some kind of contender to be taken seriously.

Good luck to Matt Bisceglia

The HEP squad appears to be running a WP unit on the rear.

Josh is getting pretty old too for this sport.
I think Josh will be 34 years old in less than 2 months.
He's older than JS7 who's 32.
And Reeds 35.

I hope to see both the old guys in the main every weekend though.
But who knows how it will go. Smile

I don't think anyone is saying he is a contender, but as far as pissing everything away I'm pretty sure last time he had a factory ride he was leading most of the championship before he injured his hand.

Regardless, he got a good team set up, got Matt a ride, and yet here you are taking the opportunity to shit on him with a smart ass comment in an attempt to get a virtual high five. Yawn.

I know right. If he was trying to be funny, it wasnt at all. 2 good riders have a ride, and this deal is basically put together by Hanny so if it wasnt for him MattyB wouldnt have a ride.

I do remodeling work for a central Ca almond rancher at their home here in San Diego....they piss away money like it grows on trees

They are doing very well...they also sell millions of eggs a year

I wonder if any marahoochie farmers will get into SX sponsorship. There are going to be some big bucks being made here in Ca in the coming years. Just a guess but I’m thinking green Kawis would be the bike of choice
