Bro Sad Read me again, he is the fastest man on the planet right now, no doubt. I'm just saying that the best rider in the world on the best bike in the world is hard to beat.

And no, I don't agree with you (it happens lol), all the bikes are not equal. Example : the steel frame...

I think the KTM is better than the Japanese bikes. Another example, have you ever seen a KTM DNF in the pros races? It's very rare.

"One of the reasons that KTM has made so much progress against the Japanese brands has to be attributed to the chromoly steel frame. Chromoly steel offers both tensile strength and the ability to flex in the right direction. It’s the flex of a steel frame that makes a KTM a very good all-around handling machine. Steel may seem old fashioned, but for motocross frames it is really a very high-tech solution."

So to sum up, too easy to be cocky on a KTM factory.

A rider can be the fatest and most talented on bike even if said rider does not have the most championships. I would say js7 is the most talented/fastest rider ever and there are riders with more titles than him.
If you recall, Stewart got smoked by Everts in Everts last MXoN.

Serious talent. A combination of the smoothness and technique of Everts with the determination and will to win of RC.

I can definitely see him winning 5 in a row if he can stay relatively injury free.

I’m a Tomac fan I just know Herlings is the best rider right now.
Herlings could ride a different machine every week and most likely win or do very well on any.
I don’t see any rider on his level anytime soon.
I don’t see any other rider that in tune with the limit as he is.
He is phenomenal to watch and we should enjoy it while it last.

The dude rides like the devil! Anyone else notice how much him and Tomac both seem to keep their elbows tucked in a lot? Herlings is def faster outdoors but their styles really mimic eachother.

Roczen posted this on Instagram/Facebook about a week ago (I have no idea how to embed-if someone wants to help a brother out)...this is a pieces together turn track in the desert outside of St George Utah (not a real Moto track)...Interesting to compare the to the Herlings vid the OP posted.
