meh looking. Still crazy to me he had to buy bikes and Husky wouldn't give him any. Doesn't look like it says Husky anywhere on it either.
What does it say about Husky that Chad chose it to ride out of his own pocket?

It's insane that they don't support him. Husqvarna has one team and that is the factory team, to not even supply bikes to one of the biggest stars in our sport is just baffling.

Agreed. Even if he got a discount, but nothing? Meh.. I wonder if he'll get an 18.5 as soon as his dealer gets a few? Are they even out yet? Sucks they couldn't at least of sent him a few to purchase.

They already got the endorsement of that big star without paying a dime just by making a desirable motorcycle.

Not sure. He posted a picture of 10 different designs the other day, but you couldn't really see much

Looks good to me. Simple. I like graphics to be simple. Of course his logo is the biggest, he's his biggest sponsor right now.

Also, pretty easy to tell between those who genuinely don't like the design vs those who are just haters around here.

Just like Honda in 2011.

Why not support him more? Give him a better chance of getting better results on a Husqvarna!

Watch the colors change by the second or third round as sponsors pop up.

You would think Boost would get a bigger logo considering they are writing the checks. And no Husky logo anywhere? They must not have done him a solid. You would think they would take the opportunity to brag that CR22 chose Husky.

This is like when Alessi blacked out the bikes cause they were getting no love.

For me it looks like he’s waiting to some sponsor to jump on board, then they make it look right. Now it’s just the ”base”. Truck is saying the same thing. Like he dont want the bike look better when there was no sponsors on it. If i was him, i would have run the 22 motorsport thing again.

That could be true. A bit like when he started twotwo motorsport and rode with blackedout goggles because he didn't feel like any of the goggle deals he got was good enough. Well that ended in Oakley signing him when he started to put in good results.

Anyone notice those stock-hubs? Are those stock wheels? Anyone-else (at that level of skill) run stock wheels? Is it just me or...

Is Chad Reed racing a bike that ANY ONE OF US COULD...CAN...BUILD?

I hope he gets thru Anaheim without too much pain or further injury to his ankle-foot. I hope he pick's up some points and continues thru the season in an Extremely Fun and Productive quest.

I personally don't like it. I'd rather see a bigger Boost Mobile logo on the shroud. I find the CR22 logo is out of place. I understand he's funding some of his program but does it really have to be on there.

I like clean looking bikes but that one is plain.
I'm with you, I don't get why teams do this either. You can't read most of his sponsors, and this photo was taken from 5 feet away!

Clean and simple, not bad. Not quite on the level of his TwoTwo bikes, but it looks way better than the factory Huskies.

This looks better IMO. That new CR22 logo is just lame. The font used on it is simply meh! Nothing! Its like an acceptable font to use on a traffic information sign. Sack it off Chad and use the two two motorsports again.
Anyone know why no two two logo??

Added sponsors? Sure. But, I don't think the "CR22" or Ricky Bobby "ME" look is going away...at least, I hope not.
If someone steps up with HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of $? Sure. But, short of that: I think we're looking at Chad's new look.
And I like it.

Can't get in too close on my iPad; but, do I see holes between spokes in the hubs? DUBYA?

ROI at its simplest form. If Husky throws $100,000 at CR you think he will generate that back in bike sales? He is already riding the brand and advertising them for nothing.
