I don't know if you will see any big changes to the 450. The bike they are racing in the All Japan nationals looked pretty similar to the current production bike. Kawasaki generally sticks to 4 year cycles (5 on the last gen)

Not a new bike. Minor updates.

Great point. 27 being the fourth year. Likely new graphics and call it a day.

Don’t forget the hat that automatically turns around backwards mid-season.

Yeah, because he’s been absolutely crushing it for the last decade, right? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Seems like he kept re-signing several of the same guys that can’t win a championship for most of the last decade, anyway.

For sure chassis, motor and airbox updates. No clue how big these updates are though.

Slipping the 19-23 chassis under the new plastics?

Actually the motor. The 19-23 laid the power down in a great way!

I can't speak for Johnny, but I would say try again. It's not about the 250 chassis.

PC Kawi is legit cursed 

As this was happening, I said to the Mrs, "okay the PC curse is 100% real, Mitch must have rolled into an Egyptian tomb and taken something".

Great photo… Mitch probably sees this in his nightmares. I concur with letting whackers go, he should contemplate retirement well he still has his health. If he was going to put it all together and win he would have done it by now. At least he’s grateful.

It’s crazy because this looks like photoshop or possibly AI but it’s actually a real photo 😭😭


PC is my all time favorite team, I don’t think it’s the bikes, it’s the riders. 

On a good note, Romano is looking great on his PC 250 and hopefully kitchen gets his back figured out for outdoors.


I think Seth is fine, he just needs to put it all together.


Hard for me to forgive McAdoo after crashing Levi in Nashville last year ruining both championship chances, and just the constant crash outs. If he could ride at his fast pace and not crash he would have a lot of wins.

How did this image not become a Photoshop? I can imagine spacewalks, Break dance competitions, maybe a few where Seth is a projectile coming out of a cannon....
