You don't remember the PC Built KX450's that he had? And sold them for ridiculous money? He wouldn't pay for all that just to turn around and sell it. He definitely rode them.

Would love to see Kenny on blue and I like these team dynamics happening that are non factory with some support for amazing racers like Kenny.

BarX to Yamaha in 2025.

And Roczen isn’t finishing his career on any bike unless it’s yellow, he’s said it a million times.


He’s happy on his Suzuki, like every other person that owns and rides one. The rest are just jealous haters.

But that doesn't necessarily mean they would have them soon enough for the '25 season

I have no insight on where Kenny's going either way, but you could have said the same thing about HEP a couple of years ago, too.

Isn't this thread speculating about 2025? Roczen on a different brand in 2026 is a no brainer...

Dealers have inventory on all 2025 450s besides Beta and Suzuki but we’re in 2024…kinda crazy how model years work isn’t it? So a 2026 model year Ducati delivered in 2025 would make sense..

If true. I would guess Kawasaki. He was already riding a Kawasaki before his Contract was final on the Suzuki.

I don’t think he ever rode the Kawi. 

He did ride Club’s Yamaha and a stark though.

A vet rider bought one for $25k I think and Swap did a video feature with the bike.

BarX is going blue right? So Yamaha could theoretically have Eli, Coop, Ken, Craig all on 450s?

Imagine saying that from 2019-2022 lol. 

Bar-X is supposed to go Yamaha's from what I have heard. That would mean another place where Ken might not make as much as he could elsewhere, but also get's to control exactly what is going on his bike, program, etc. Wonder what would make him want to leave Suzuki though at this point after two years with the team.

Probably a factory supported bonus program and an electric start, but just spitballing here
