In light of Roczen re-signing with Honda i thought about this crazy scenario. I wanted to see how feasible you think this is.

Honda sells Tomac on his glory days on the Honda from 2015 and pairs him with a teammate that will push him to be faster, that races him clean, and can help him with his starts. Honda has two top guys to fight the KTM/Husky powerhouse of recent years.

Kawasaki signs Savagty, Cianciarulo moves up to the 450 on Kawi, and Seely slots in as a third rider for Kawi. Now Kawasaki has a veteran, Seely, a solid top ten or even possibly top 5 guy in Savagty, and a fast hyped rookie in Adam.

What do you all think.

Maybe i'm crazy but I don't see Kawi fielding three bikes.

According to the latest rumor mill, Tomac and AC have locked themselves in for green next year...

Is Honda releasing a new generation bike being that this one has been around for 3 years or stretching it out for 4? Seems to be working well and definitely ironed out the bugs. especially in the whoops

Cole will be red, just not HRC.... Joey would look really good on a yellow bike, possibly a red one though. Ken needs a helper, and someone like Deano could really fit in under a red canopy...... time will tell.

Does AC definitely go 450 next year? Or do Kawi make it worthwhile to stay in the 250's and run the number 1 plate?

Savagty gets one year to set the world on fire? Tough sport.
Hopefully he lands on a solid team.

Yeah, that seems like a kick in the nuts to Savatgy. That guy has done better this year than most - as a rookie, no less. I hope he gets on a Suzuki and wins everything in sight. That would be the ultimate, "Oh no my friend, screw YOU!"

I don’t think “Monster” is aiming for 3rd thru 5th! Tomac is their best shot at winning!

I don't really think any factory team is hiring a guy to make top 10s.

What plate? The dude only had a couple point lead and could easily lose it. And he did.
