RC got to wear fox in 1999 because he raced 250 sx for the factory team and Kawasaki let him drop down for 125 outdoors. He wasn’t a full time PC team member.
There was also a story about James not getting a full PC race bike for LL in 01 as Mitch reserved them for pros. This rubbed big james the wrong way so it was factory or nothing. But who knows.
His 125 career may not have been as good on a Honda but for sure an 05-08 CRF450 would have helped.

A little known fact is James raced his first 125 race at Gatorback but only made it to the first turn and crashed and broke his arm. I think it was the winter ams or Gold cup. I was standing right there and a kid on my team ran him over and broke his arm. He may of been on a Spitfire Kawi.

Stewart only raced under factory kawi , point blank simple. He never raced split fire or pc in his pro career. Theres not a splitfire bike that he rode , it was chevy trucks factory kawi.

This entire thread has been about a bike he rode as an amateur. Everyone knows he only rode for Factory Kawi as a pro. There have also been several pictures and videos of him on the bike in question in this thread. Where did you get lost?

Not trying to be mean, but man... did anybody read the thread?

James raced his first 125 race on a super mini.

Just found this light up fox promotion sign from a local shop that was closing. Anyone know what it’s worth? Can’t find the picture or another sign anywhere online.

98 Carmichael had axo, 99 he had fox while the team switched to Thor. I bet Kawi at that time didn't wanna let go of RC no mather what brand he had on him except for their bikes.
Same with Stewart he rode 2000 and 2001 splitfire bikes while on fox. 2002 he went pro and wanted a factory bike so Kawi gave it to him. Simple as that

Truth be told, Ricky was on a factory 125 the whole time he rode for Mitch.
Not quite, 97 RC had stock suspension revalved by PC.

You must have been standing right beside me. This is the picture I took of it at Gatorback.
