I bet Suzuki Japan could give two shits what Kenny does on Saturday nights, which is damn sad!
Glad you're still here. Tell your mom I said hello
We just need Kerry Harris Satellite to get a sponsorship going with HEP and all will be right in the world
The general audience still doesn't realize that a bike off the showroom floor can get last place in shootouts but also not be far off from being a very comfortable and competitive bike.
An RMZ isn't going to hurt your chances at a C class championship, it's your garbage riding that is hindering you.
I'm really glad Roczen got on this bike and is enjoying it because if he didn't, the same 2nd and 3rd tier riders would be getting on the bike, underperforming and then throwing the bike under the bus all while telling the media if they get a chance on a better platform then they'll surely perform better.
*edit* I also thought it was rad on the Glendale program that they gave credit to Chiz for helping Kenny develop the bike and get good settings.

I honestly don't think my 350 with a big money spring fork conversion allows my big ass to go any faster than a stock RMZ with a cheaper respring and revalve. Power is a non-issue. I'm not using everything the 350 has anyhow.
Ya, it's funny how different styles of riders require different bike characteristics and that's why it's cool we have such an assortment to choose from. I have a ton of fun on my modified 250 and can ride it rather aggressively. Put me on a high power 450 and the bike starts to ride me.
Yellow is lsnt a pull start at least…
Roczen won 7 450 SX mains for RCH Suzuki during the 2015 and 16 seasons along with 10 MX National wins.
Thanks for that info... I remembered the Nationals...just not SX.
I guess there must be some inside joke about the 1st win for Ken/Suzuki post then.
I’ve been kickstarting bikes for quite some time. From a 50 mini trail to a CR 500. It doesn’t really make a difference to me 🙃 Even if Suzuki added the magic button, people will always find something to complain about.
As far as motors go, I think all 450’s are pretty damn close. Here’s a 2014 I had awhile. I just found I preferred 2 strokes.
I wish i had kept my 1998 RM125. I would rip the shit out of it today if i had. Loved riding that thing pegged.
Serious questions about the RMZ 450 - Keefer and MXA both rode Kenny’s bike and raved about it. This is a production based bike of course with a lot of fine tuning, but from what I read it didn’t seem like it had a significant amount of unobtanium.
Question 1: Would Kenny’s bike win any of the media shootouts against stock bikes?
Question 2: Why can’t Suzuki just do some of those mods to the stock package?!? ECU spec, slipper clutch, better fork settings and probably a different shock? None of those require retooling and the R&D is already done. Everyone rags on Suzuki for lack of estart but if the package can be made so good by a team that isn’t even full factory, it really seems like Suzuki could dial that bike in for the masses relatively easy and sell a lot more bikes. Heck the other brands have even gotten heavier in the current generations, which closes the longstanding weight gap as well.
Question 3: How awesome is it to see Tyler back?!?
Kenny is in the best position on the grid. If he wins, it's all about him. If he loses, it's all about the bike. That's called getting your cake and eating it too.
i think you can update swingarm and forks and stuff on this bike, not sure on info
This comment has the most common sense I have seen in a Vital post in a long time.
Didn't Bogle quit SX racing because the bike is "uncompetitive?"
Aged like milk.
Question 1: Yes
Question 2: They should. They need to lose weight, add a button, get rid of the BFRC shock and update the suspension settings/springs, and they'd be back
Question 3: Yes

Yes, now add Estart to that 247..
1) Yes
2) I think its already set-up for the masses (other than the button). People who mod there bikes, will always mod their bikes.
3) Cool
The stock bike IS already dialed in for the masses.
What you see and read about in the media is hugely influenced by fashion. What you see at your local track, even more so.
Tyler(who actually brings joy and makes me laugh/smile)...thank you for being you and the undying support of Suszuki
I think this guy only posts (bad) when is something related to RMZ450 topics
Hey Magoofan what post was that ? I don't remember it.
Honestly, I'm lost.... Someone posted about Kens 1st win with Suzuki which I thought was funny because it wasn't.
A number of cryptic posts after that and talk about some member coming back....there has to be some back story I'm not privy to.
Probably my favorite bike ever.
This PC sho is purty.
Sweet man!
I can't believe how heavy that stock exhaust is, crazy heavy
