Weird era we are living within. Any sort of negativity can be possibly misinterpreted and used against the person. He should watch what he says and posts going forward since he does hold a measure of influence. Just my .02

Two sides to every story…..
😂 Well, you may have a point. Is this a known issue with Honda?

Or unlike 99.99% of social media users, he posts what he actually thinks or feels, good or bad, instead of fake comments and staged photos to impress others.
It’s a sad reflection on society when we rag on people for being real.
Real is good....with him, it seems like he's just trying to hard. Maybe Ken just needs to pause for a few minutes....go back and re-read what he's written before hitting the submit button sometimes.

I posted a "modded" version of his outdoors season "haters" outburst earlier in this thread as a spoof. The original was one of the worst SM posts we've ever seen.

I hope that Kenny and Honda realize that it's the internet. That post got spread to his 1,5 million followers. It's there forever and it looks ever worse when you delete it which they should understand.

I know. People, amirite?


Where is Ken 'melting down' or 'riled up'? He posted a picture of a bike malfunction, said testing was going well before this incident, and that he was glad to not be injured.

Yes, you are both using something slightly negative (a picture) against the person that posted it (saying Ken is melting down and riled up). At least you know how you are going to react. It's a 'weird era' for sure.

again... You don't post your broken factory bike that shows a clear failure of your sponsors parts because you are happy as a clam.

MXA repost it on Instagram and tagged Kenny in the post so this isn’t going away that easy

I'm just pointing out that it's you two taking it a step further and holding it against Roczen. Now quit getting riled up and melting down.

For all those who say his bike look like crap probably never seen or touched a training bike from a pro guy. Normally they will use the plastic off the races, and the plastic looks like that after a raceday. Those frames get used somewhere around 30h, and the wheels normally last until they’re either to scratched or bend. On the other hand, the sprocket, chain and chainslide only last a few hours if not every training day so it should be checked regularly.

lol



....in all seriousness. I'm a fan of Ken and have huge respect for what he's been thru and how far he's come back from horrible injuries. That said, his social media presence is just cringe. He just needs to step away from it.

100% he is the Kevin Durant of moto.

Wouldnt go that far. Kenny brought Suzuki its last title before leaving. Pre-injury Kenny was an animal.

Its odd. We talk about Kenny like finishing top 2-5 in points is disappointing/failure and hes finished where as most riders will never come close to that in a career year. In my opinion a testament to just how good he was/still can be when he's on.
