You're right about Marchbanks being had on the cheap. He'd probably ride for $5 bucks and a Big Mac.
Not in SX - and that's all the teams care about.
Judged off a lot of the takes on here, there is a lot of crack being smoked - and PCP...
The injury list in the 250 class is a mile long and Levi struggles to make a podium on a top tier team. I’d say his stock has slipped and no way is he deserving of a top 450 ride

Drew Adams reminds me of Tyler bowers.
Kitchen wasnt much better than Prado yesterday.
Levi literally got 3rd yesterday… and he beat Marchbanks.
Is Shimoda signed at HRC? Kawi should go after him to ride a 450 next year. Yeah he's probably a favorite for at least one 250 title next year. Screw it, get on the 450 Jo. Look how RJ looks on the 450 now. I bet he's wishing he got on a 450 3-4yrs ago right now.
He had 2 podiums in the first 10 rounds of the series. If Hymas wasn’t out he would not have made one podium this year. Not a 450 factory ride candidate
The Lawrence are a totally different dynamic than other teams. They are totally invested in helping the team and as long as one of them wins it ok. Other teams ‘you must beat your team mate’
Coming back from winning the last race he ran and then breaking his back…
You mean 7 or 8 years ago. RJ's almost 30.
I really though Master pool would crush it outdoors this year. Looks like he's SOL for next year.
So that he can race twice and get hurt again?
Anaheim 1 Qualifying:
Kitchen: 1:06.2 on a 250
Marchbanks: 1:07.4 on a 450 (3 seconds a lap slower than his teammate)
Tell me again why Marchbanks is a better rider than Kitchen… we will see how this season pans out, but apples to apples in SX and MX, Kitchen is a level above Marchbanks. He faster and has better results.
Moving Marchbanks to the 450 had nothing to do with Kawasaki thinking he was a better rider than kitchen, in fact probably the opposite. They probably thought Kitchen would have title hopes where Marchbanks hasn’t proven that.
PC wants Kitchen to go after a 250 title.
This is Marchbanks 2nd career 450 sx start. He did Daytona in 2022.
Pretty sure the choice was not who was the better rider of the 2 but what made most sense for Kawasaki between the needs of the 2 teams.
Pit Row
Well the beginning of this thread was dick riding Marchbanks pretty hard… and all saying Kitchen was trash when Kitchen had quite literally just won the last SX he actually raced before that crazy Daytona crash. Saying Garrett is better than Levi is just a joke. I’m sorry.
Never apologize. Youve waited 6 long months to prove you were right. Fuck em 🖕😆
🤔
Still standing by the statement that Kitchen would have made the best teammate to Sexton. That duo would have given Kawi the best chance at a 450 SX title.
This thread aged well?
Post a reply to: Kawasaki: Let Prado go and move Kitchen to the 450 asap
