Chizz really? I thought he was content with his own deal. I admittedly don't pay much attention to the off-season stuff because of football, guess I need to do some catching up.
Chiz is supposedly filling in for Hartranft. Good for Chiz. A lot easier than doing it all on your own.
Love this! And if I were Kenny I’d powder coat my kickstarter fluorescent orange so everyone can see that ‘em effer from a mile away. Plus I’d have plastic 3D printed replicas to toss to the crowd after pulling off a win.
If you are not behind this move you are not a fan of the sport!
That’s not the way I understood it. Chizz was on the team and now they’ll have to find a fill in for Hartranft. So It’ll be Ken, Chizz plus the fill in. I’m sure I’ll get corrected if that’s wrong. ML to the courtesy phone!!!

Chizz is such a solid rider. He’s the perfect secondary guy to someone like Roczen. Get a couple top 10’s. Hope he gels with the bike like Roczen does.
I could be mistaken. I only recently heard of Chiz to HEP and thought it was to replace Hartranft, but they are supposed to have two guys under the Twisted Tea truck so what you’re saying makes sense. Chiz is a fan favorite and riding as good as ever so it’s a smart move.
chizz gonna have a hard time making mains let alone getting top 10s
He is, plus we all know he can be relied on... if the need arises...
Knowi'msayin?
Oh thought I'd this one to the pics as well
Mumford, Drake and Wageman are BarX Suzuki. Different team.
HEP is Dylan Schwartz and Marshal Weltin on 250s, along with Chisholm, Hartranft and Roczen on 450s. Chiz was already planned before Hartranft's injury.
I was just going to comment on that pic being missing! Thanks homie
The last guy that Honda canned and ended up with Suzuki did ok.…remember that Suzuki was the laughing stock of the pits in 03-04. An elite guy can turn things around in a hurry…if it goes well
Do you think Suzuki Japan will be helping team like sending engineers over from Japan to help with set up like some of the other oem teams ?. Weird seeing them using pc pipes and not yosh. Back in the hay days of Suzuki winning was always yosh building engines and pipes both on the mx and road racing side.
Do you even watch SX?
Dude finished 14th overall in 2022 and he didn't even do all the rounds as he jumped onto the Star bike in the 250 class. Had two 11th's , a 10th and an 8th in 450's.
And stoked with KR going to Suzuki for the record, as a RMZ450 owner and a fan of Roczen.
PC is OG
I always thought yosh was always big into the Suzuki racing programs both mx and road . Building their engines maybe I’m wrong on that .
I hadn’t thought about it before but I’m guessing George still has Suzuki connections?
Original pic.
Pit Row
They did for the factory Teams, but HEP uses Twisted Development for engines....and now PC exhaust.
I don't think so, there's not really anyone left in that project area that I'm aware of.
And as for the Yoshimura thing, even back when Ricky was on the team and wanted to run PC, the team was housed in Yoshimura's race shop. However, times have changed, this is a private team and that prior Yosh / Suzuki connection isn't want it once was. They did support H.E.P. up through this year but opted out before the Kenny thing came about.
Remember those weird boots he randomly started wearing that year?
How good!!! So pumped!!!
Can't wait to see him do well!!
Beriks, started with them in 05. Think they were made of Kangaroo leather
Other than obvious sales side, is there anyone left for racing/development? Any word of a new bike coming or has that all disappeared?
Gotcha thanks. I forgot about the BarX Suzuki team.
Not a single pic of Ken on the HEP bike in this thread! Lol
Good for him. He’s gonna get smoked on that yellow bike though.
Post a reply to: Rozen to HEP Suzuki. It's official.
