Webb isn’t going anywhere on a 1 year deal.
Yep
It’s funny when people say that Hunter thinks a Jett win is just like a win for him. Hunter and his wife would disagree with that statement.
My brother ate my Dilly Bar one time and I almost ran him through a plate glass window. I can’t imagine if he took 50k from me.
That kinda happens the older ya get you start filling out more and more.

😂 best comment because it’s true.
Hunter has had kinda a gimmie season imo. Throw him in with the 450 guys and he'll look pretty mediocre. In Seattle Jett was matching Sextons fast lap time, in Detroit Hunter's fast lap was equal to Benny Bloss in 11th. Not a exact comparison but it gives you an idea.
Allot of things going on at Honda and at one point they had a plan mapped out of Jett going 450 then Hunter a year later. Honda thought they had the Ueropean Twins locked up for 24 but they may not happen. With the new 250 SX rule you will see some older 450 riders dropping down.
He already spent an offseason with the Lawrence brothers training and they have a good relationship between each together.

"With the new 250 SX rule you will see some older 450 riders dropping down."
Not really. Some might drop down, but it won't be any of the big name guys.

HL will be good on the 450, and Good chance for Honda to finally win a 450 Title...
Cool man. How about indy where hunter had the fastest lap time out of everybody in both classes?
Lighter, easier to ride bike, on a smoother, less beat track equals faster lap times.
The majority of 250 winners have the best lap times, Craig did last year several times.
While i dont disagree with you,i think youve missed the point i was trying to make,and why i quoted the post i did
Ueropean twins?
Australian brothers.
Pretty sure hes talking about the Coenen brothers
Hondas not hiring some older 450 guy to come ride their 250.
They are looking at a couple younger kids right now, but the end goal is have Phoenix Honda take over their 250 program.
I’m assuming he is too. Myrtal reps them, so everyone assumes they’re going to Honda.
Yep. 250/450 transitions are a big jump. 450s = twice as many races that are longer, on a rougher track and a faster bike. With a full gate of competition, not a class cut in half at most of the races. I can’t blame a guy for taking the championships and paychecks available, but our class structure isn’t really preparing 250 guys for the 450 class.
Pit Row
Shouldn't he be faster every week since the track isn't as beat for the 250 main?
He's usually right there as far as quickest race average lap times, sometimes the quickest.
Go to the AMA SX archives; it's all there. The transponders only speak facts.
Figured I would re-up this thread
Some of the comments didn’t age well.
Word.
Post a reply to: Hunter on 450 makes sense
