The last time he rode a Kawi was RV’s at Baker’s and he almost went over the bars. Wonder how it went this time.

Couldn't get comfy on a Factory KTM, couldn't get comfy on a Factory Suzuki, couldn't get comfy on an HRC Honda. What bike CAN he get comfy on and win?
He could give Suzuki another shot, looks plenty comfy.

It's hard to see him go anywhere that would conflict with his Red Bull and Fox sponsorships. I'm sure both are very lucrative, especially Red Bull's. Ken seems super picky about his gear, too... when the new Fox V3 came out, he wore the Fox V2 because the fit was more comparable to the previous gen V3. Now, the new instincts are out and he's the only rider still wearing the old version. What a Greek tragedy it would be for him to wear a TLD helmet and Tech 10s on TLD RB Gas Gas lol.

I think he's limited to KTM (if they want him) or some type of satellite team like Firepower Honda (if they can afford him).

Is there any chance he reunites with HRC Honda after WSX?

I heard the former moderator ( I think) of this site say over the weekend he isn’t re signed with Fox as of now.

If you think he’ll be on anything other than an RMZ in 2023, then you definitely aren’t the smartest of the flock.

Just think if Kenny puts that Zook on the box - this place would implode.

Not a big fan of Roczen but he is good for the sport. Hope he lands a good spot.

Fire Power Honda, I would assume Yarrive has been working overtime to find funds.
World SX, AMA sx and Australian sx for 2023.

I’m a bit surprised Kenny is still suffering from injuries as thought he would have been to the Red Bull APC for checkup/ rehab seeing as Billy Bolt has just been there as part of his recovery, but maybe I’m just thinking the APC is better than it is ????

I can see KTM being over the shit talking Kenny did when he left them last time, it happens and a lot of time has passed, but I'm struggling to see Roger putting up with the excuses (even if they are valid) or dropping halfway down the field which will likely happen occasionally.

If he was unhappy with TC222 and RD5 then would he be happy with Kenny when there are bike complaints and a more regular occurrence of dropping off the pace?
Kenny did significantly better than both of those guys outdoors actually.

I feel the single thing that Kenny did to shoot himself in the foot was that quickly deleted instagram post with the hub/sprocket failure. Not even current, according to Uptite. Why would you do that other than to say FU to Honda? Why play nice afterwards? Why lie about an offer that wasn't pulled back? I can see where the teams would consider him toxic now. I like Kenny, I just don't understand why he'd do that.

Any new rumblings as to where he lands? I haven’t read much since Colt took the spot at HRC Honda and Roczen is riding a Yamaha at RBSR today.

Apparently the YZ250 from his latest interviews.

I thought the newest rumor was Monster Energy Kawasaki, Matthes and a few others "reported" that. Not sure where the money comes from, maybe Monster to lure him away. To me Red Bull provides more for the athletes than Monster, but I'm no insider. I just know they have their own medical type facilities and experts.

just a thought, but what if the WSX "World Champion" also raced the real supercross world championship and only finished say 5th?
