IMO, the Twisted Tea bikes look a lot better.
Agree... But the Suzuki's seem to look really good as long as it's not a garbage graphics package.
I have to agree. As dated as the zook is, it's still the best looking bike.
Nothing compares to yellow plastic on an MX bike.
Old Yamahas... and zooks thru the years.
Remember Yellow Maicos?

100% legend look at Reed on yellow and he is same if he has the feeling and gelling with the bike he can twist it. Reed did it on Yellow and what ever year Honda he raves about. Kenny is going to do some damage and surprise some. P
Little before my time with the sport....
My 1st ride…ever…on a “dirt bike”…Tom Webb gave me a ride on his 501…I was 7 or 8. That’s the ride that set The Moto Hook.
My first real two-wheeled foray was on a Rupp mini bike in 74.... I ate shit. ....but was hooked forever.
Some interesting observations as more detailed photos are surfacing. As a nerd, and someone who has a soft spot in their heart for RM-Z's I was curious to see if there would be any works trickery on the #94 machine. Some items jumped out at me from the pics on MotoPlayground's post on FB (apologies I tried embedding and it wouldn't let me).
-Stock clamps, sorta... They appear to be from the RM-Z250. The casting seam and how far down they go (or in this case, don't go) are the giveaways. The 450 casting seam is higher up and the 450 bottom clamp extends further down the fork tubes.
-Stock linkage. At least it appears to be an OEM one. Of course, there's no telling if they didn't machine one to be a slightly different length. Of course, they could also be running a different length shock than anything we can get so it's all a moot point. Last year the team had JGR linkages on the bikes.
-Previous factory efforts dating back to 2010 had used an odd looking works oil filter/water pump cover. They're sticking with what looks like an off the shelf Boyesen unit. Small and probably insignificant, but it makes me wonder how much factory love they're getting. I know last year they hired away a suspension guru from a factory team and I thought I had read they had works ECU's.
Also interesting is all the HEP guys are running the same setup (or at least were during the photo shoot). Kinda surprising at least with the linkage when we've heard every media outlet recommend one to "fix" that chassis.
All those wins and championships the TLD Team have racked up since switching sure prove your point about how smart they are.
oh wait….
I've seen enough of your posts to know you're not the brightest bulb...and that's okay.
Oh you got me so good!
Am I wrong? Has that team just been killing it? Was the e-start a “game changer” for them?
Sure seems to me like they mighta been better off sticking with Honda….
You are 100% wrong! Go ahead and quote where I made a point of 'how smart they are'.
I don't have to 'get you'...you always seem to do that well on your own!
I’ll wait another round or two but rest assured it’s coming.
How’s it aging so for?
It ain’t easy being me.
I remember watching Ken here in Phoenix in 2020. He won all three motos triple crown.
I really dont know, but i get the feeling kenny doesnt know how to test and is not articulate. Cant run your own team unless you know how to test and know what you want. Would love to hear Roger's, Mitch's, Ricky's, Kdub, and Chiz's takes on him, good or bad.
Hes great for the sport but i think hes a headcase.
I think his history has caused him to be a "headcase" all his life he was winning that all he knew before he had the crash.
I was waiting and waiting for him to regain his form I thought it was his body holding him back I still think it's a big part of it, but the pattern is happening again hot at the start of the season only to pretty much quit by the end most people chalk that up as being "gassed out".
Then you see Kenny outdoors a more physically demanding discipline than SX and some how he can hang on for 2 motos and do very well same deal at the start of the season.
I don't think it's so much the body anymore it's like he has motivation at every start of season gets some good results but as soon as a decent or half decent result comes his way he gets deflated and in his head and it just compounds throughout the season to the point he's rolling around the track blaming the bike.
In short I just think it's not coming easy for him as it once did and he cannot handle that and starts blaming the bike and it just snowballs from there.
Like last year literally rolling around the track in the last rounds of SX then comes out firing in outdoors, it makes no sense.
till he starts working on his suspension setup between moto's

I just want to remind you of Ken’s results by this time last year on the Honda..
do you want me to list his results so far this year on the Suzuki for comparison?
perhaps posting publicly isn’t right for you..
Safe to say Ken's enjoying his time at HEP!
How is it ageing now?
Bump for entertainment. Congrats Kenny.
He’s won 2 races on the zook out of the last 22 races. Batting less than 10%. It’s cool though. I’ll give him credit where credit is due. I didn’t think he’d win any on it. He’s a major talented dude. Was always a title threat in the past.
Kenny and Suzuki is like PB & J.
