Why would Reed go back to Kawi when he walked away from them?

It was never stated why he left.
A press release was issued that they parted ways.

Reed had the ball in his court with the contract he controlled it.
He had the option to do another year.

1.) I can't understand what the hell you're trying to say.
2.) If I had to guess, Reed and Kawasaki didn't mesh. Not the team - the bike. Reed looked good on Yamaha, dialed on Suzuki, and not so hot on Kawasaki. It's clear that Reedy has one foot out the door and he's just mixing things up his last couple of years.
3.) I still have no idea what you were trying to say.

RV did mention on pulp last night that there was some talk of Kawi having a 3 man team (RV, CP and Jake)

That still leaves and open spot on Honda...

He had it for outdoors, yes. However, I don't think he had it during the Aussie SX season, nor did he have it the first two rounds of the AMA SX season. Neither of which he looked spectacular in.

I could be wrong... maybe Reed will tweet about it. That's the only conclusion I could come to as to why he'd walk away from a contract with Monster Energy Kawasaki.

I was thinking about making another thread about Reed and Pourcel and where they might be going for 2011...thank God you did.

Just think about the absolute contrasting styles of RV and CR. Obviously the Kawi fits RV's "throw the bitch around" style really well. With Reed's struggles, it leads me to think that the Kawi isn't much of a finesse bike.

Interesting, Stewart said it wasn't. He said you had to ride it really hard. Perfect for RV, and not so much for Chad. In my opinion just from watching. The chassis is what makes a bike handle and Chad seems to like front end steering bikes. Ala he gelled with the Suzuki. Honda's turn exceptional as well.

Doesn't CP have a smoother style rather than throwing it around? Would the Kawi fit him well?

I can't speculate if it would fit him well or wouldn't. I posted my opinion from observations i have taken watching races. I watched the 08,09 bar to bar dvd's followed by videos and races of Chad on the Kawi, and it never seemed right.
