*Ken Roczen signs with HEP Suzuki*
People living in their own warped world:
"Man that bike is so slow and heavy. Needs a new shock, head work and take 50 pounds off, then I'd THINK of riding one"
I'm done wasting my time with that level of delusion. Marketing at its finest I guess...
This thread, like many others, truly shows who is a fan of good racing and the core of the sport and then everyone else.... I cant think of a negative that comes from this as a fan and lover of our sport...... And for what its worth, i have a garage full of Honda's and am not a Kenny fan boy by any means...
All the Hype.
I hope for Suzuki he does well.

That made me laugh, but so true!
Good for Kenny and great for Suzuki. I hope it works out. That said, the hype has been a bit much. Does anyone really think his results will be any better than the last few seasons when he was on factory equipment?
What about the Yosh exhaust? He just thanked Mitch for the PC pipes.
I think if he has a handle on his health he can get some great results. You know he wants nothing more than to show the haters he’s still got podium speed, and to do it on the Zuk would just be the perfect FU.
HEP has switched to PC
I hope he smokes everybody with the Suzuki. That would be awesome for Suzuki. The sport is better with Suzuki out there and i hope they get another chance to shine.
Awesome
Looks like walty wonderbook or whatever that guys name is telling us about todays “baR bAngInG toPiC”
Best looking bikes out there every year, not even close
Excited to see Kenny rip those works of art!
I’m excited to see the yellow “outdated, heavy, and slow machine” with a red #1 plate on the front in 2024
Where you find that picture of me???
I’m looking forward to some sweet Fox Suzuki gear this year .
Ah, but the hype and drama this off-season is the ONLY reason anyone is on board with this move.
Imagine if the only thing we knew is Honda made him an offer, he declined or they rescinded it....and then a couple months later he's on HEP Suzuki??
The reaction to that would be a huge WTF.
I hope he does well, but I think this will go just about how the last few years have for him. Only now he has a built in excuse.
Factory Honda to HEP Suzuki isn't a lateral move.

Funny to think HEP was shopping for a new brand at one point this season. Or at least wasn't that the rumor?
Also, paging @ML512 didn't you toss out a comment about a new suzuki in the works? Wonder if that is even remotely possible in 24...
Makes me feel a little better about all that money Progressive gets from me. Congrats Ken!
Even though it is mighty close to the start of the season to begin testing, Kenny should be fine. He just needs to call Watson and have him dig into his storage unit for his notebooks full of settings since the bike hasn’t changed since the last time he rode it.
Suzuki prices just jumped at the dealerships. 😂
New opening ceremonies song?
Progressive is probably the biggest winner in all of this. They will be getting a lot more exposure /TV time.
Hiroo Onoda is stoked!
Is Adam Enticknap still on HEP? If so who 6 months ago would've thought that him and Roczen would be teammates. Suzuki is gonna be rolling into A1 with the most random team ever.
Pulp said he’s done
I said the same thing to a friend when I heard about Ken signing. Makes you wonder if something bigger isn't coming from Suzuki soon.
He’s not. Chizz and KR.
Thanks. I haven't listened to Pulp much since the off season, and didn't think about 722 until I saw the Roczen signing. Who's on the team besides Kenny, Hartranft, and Mumford?
Post a reply to: Rozen to HEP Suzuki. It's official.
