In light of the news of RD going with Geico Honda, RV with Yamaha, MC with Kawasaki, Emig with Husky... who do you associate The GOAT with?

What brand do you associate RC with?

All of them! Got started ripping on a Kawi, completely dominated on a Honda, then rode off into the sunset on a Zook...but mostly I associate RC with the redheaded Woody Woodpecker.

I'm 31 and I associate him with Kawi. From the beautiful 125 PC bikes to the 01 KX250 which I thought was gorgeous. He set records on the other two brands but I'll always think Kawasaki when reminiscing

Suzuki.

He finished his career on them , and still rides them to this day. I guess you could argue Kawasaki since he did all his AM stuff and early pro career......but I still see him as a Suzuki guy.

Buying into a Team and or bring Brand Ambassador is a little Different imo, buy honestly even if someone Gets Hired as a brand ambassador For a brand they never Rode, if it's a paying gig good for them and if it Brings more attention to the brand good hire.
McGrath Did actually win his first SX race on Kawi.
But I don't recall Emig Riding any Huskies lol.

I associate RC with Kawi because he was with them for so long and won how many titles for them?

I also associate him with Suzuki because he beat James and ended his career with Suzuki.

For Some Reason I had a really hard time Getting used to him being on the Honda.
I just always thought of him as a Kawi guy and I thought he fit the Kawi better.
But then with Suzuki I got used to it right away.

Nah KTM is waiting for Reed to be an ambassador seen as that's the only brand he hasn't raced.

Voted Honda. Guess it’s the brand when I grew up watching him the most. Also interesting is who you would never see/picture on another color. TP 199 has always been yellow and I could never picture him riding anything else.

Dude, could you imagine the mayhem that would ensue if TP ever switched colors??

Looking at Ricky, he seems like a bit of a Husky guy.

Kawi was what I watched him on every weekend growing up racing here in Florida but I always new his bike didnt matter he was going to keep it pinned. I was hoping he could help keep Suzuki around more.
My best brother gets me this wallet every few years for Christmas, lol he must know something. 😇
