Most motocross riders know who Robby Gordon is. He’s arguably one of the most recognized off-road racers in the world lol 😂

A lot of people are pissed about the his sxs being made in China. He did a demo this weekend at the sand show and snapped his rear trailing arm mount hitting a little jump they set up. A lot of people aren’t very happy let’s just say that. And then he brings this is out just pisses everyone off even more. He told people he would be delivering 40 cars at this show and I don’t think one was handed over. I know a lot want their deposits back.

If you are into anything fast and have never heard of Robby Gordon I wouldn't be admitting it out loud.

I can't speak to the fact of if he's a douchebag or not but he's one of the best all around wheelmen of the past 30 years or so. Indy cars, NASCAR, Baja among others. He has the bonafides.


7 SCORE International championships (1986–90, 1996, 2009)
3 time Baja 1000 winner (1987, 1989, 2006)
4 time Baja 500 winner (1989, 1990, 2005, 2013)
9 Dakar Rally stage victories
4 time 24 Hours of Daytona winner
3 time 12 Hours of Sebring winner
3 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series wins (New Hampshire 2001, Infineon and Watkins Glen 2003)
1 NASCAR Sprint Cup Gatorade 125 Win (2003)
1 NASCAR Nationwide Series win (Richmond 2004)
2 CART wins (Phoenix and Detroit 1995)
1 Central Europe Rally Special wins (2008 CER Stage 5 Scratch 1 winner (1/2 stage) Hummer)
Attempted the “Double Duty” four times, racing the Indy 500 and Coca Cola 600 in the same day (1 of 4 drivers)
Indianapolis 500: Three top-five and five top-10 finishes in 10 starts

No doubt, he’s a mad man behind a steering wheel!

I saw that video! It’s a bummer for sure because his UTV’s look sweet but definitely not good for publicity

You are right. Robby has amazing talent behind the wheel. Not too many drivers can race Indy, Nascar and Off road as well as Robby. For those saying he’s a douchebag that jus your opinion.. Over the past 3 decades I’ve seen him at SX , Speedway, Nascar and Baja races and he always treated me like I was a lifelong friend and not just a fan of his racing. I’ve never dealt with him in any business sense, just chatting and a cold beer. I’ve always liked him

Not to be naive but it always strikes me as funny how often people can be so talented and successful, and then be great to talk to and even hang out with on a personal level too, but as soon as business and money are in the mix all of those good qualities go out the window and they are straight-up con-men who don't seem to give a fuck.

It's unfortunately very common in any motorsport I've been involved with, albeit those are all distant from off-road, so it's sad but not surprising that it's the same in those areas which are usually more family / community driven.

It does make you appreciate the stand up guys who have these talents and storied careers and stay true to their sport and fans and don't pull shit like this even more though, like RC despite some dicey-sounding SX announcing sometimes (which personally doesn't bother me, just gives me a cheap laugh that even the greats are only human.)

Is there something wrong with that?

Would you rather buy Nike's and give LeBron James and the Commies money or buy Speed Energy shoes and give a fellow motorsport guy and the Commies money?

Fun story, Robby nearly ran my skinny ass over while I was broken down at the side of the trail at the 2014 Baja 500. Didn't lift even a little bit on his way by, then again, neither did Menzies or Baldwin

That's all anybody needs to know about current events right now, seeing as you're fully briefed, we'll see you next year. Lol

If you’re on the fence about this guy or think he’s serious about mx, read the comments on his Instagram post about this bike. “Excited to play in SX” leads me to believe he’s either delusional or has no problem stretching the truth. He also mentions a 450 coming when someone states the obvious about a 300 in supercross, but given everything else he’s slapped his logo on, I’d expect it to be the same 450 as SSR’s that have been around for quite a while based on the old CRF450X with a zongshen Honda clone engine.

Once upon a time (2018) he was trying to sell his side by side design to Hisun Motors, a Chinese company with a Texas headquarters. It never materialized for reasons unbeknownst to me, but basically he’s had no hesitation trying to partner with these manufacturers for quite some time.

Hmm, now that you mention it, Hisun is the company that opened the new plant in Mexico and unveiled Robby’s SXS under their name.

I've heard this comparison made so many times, but this parallel just isn't... parallel.

Yes, in 1969 Japan was not building a competition dirt model... yet. But they were already very successful in road racing with a show of technical force that was leaving other manufacturers scrambling for protection in the rulebooks. In the showroom, Honda had released the CB750 -- the most refined and technologically-advanced street motorcycle ever-- and Yamaha dual sport bikes had already redefined that market segment.

And this was all less than a decade after the thrifty-nifty Honda 50's first appearance on US soil (which itself, kicked outdated and unreliable European small-bore motorcycles nearly out of the market and ignited the bike boom).

Chinese bikes, by contrast, have been here for nearly 30 years now, and they are still broadly just cheaper photocopies of other manufacturer's design, with near zero participation in any level or category of professional racing.

I love the comments that the Chinese cannot compete with the technology of other makers. Most people are typing that on a high tech wonder tool made in China.

It’s not that they can’t but there quality assurance and control and material quality is known to be less. It doesn’t matter if your phone has some inferior aluminum or steel as part of its structure. Definitely matters with a dirtbike.
