Suzuki 250 slow? Seewer and Lawrence in the GPs think different about that! Kind of weird they have good Suzuki's in the GPs and suck in the US..

I think both Seewer and Lawrence would love to be on a factory KTM/Husky.
I think there definitely down on hp. I dont think iv ever seen Lawrence in top 5 off the start. He isnt a big guy either. Hopefully he gets on a 2019 prototype 250 for next season because those ktm/huskys are only going to get quicker.

I wonder if that JGR suzuki 250 will be up to par to the PC Kawi. I remember hearing that some of the parts they had on Nicolettis 250 this year had "Stroupe45" on them from 2010.

They wont. The 2018 RMZ 250 is still the same bike as before. By far the slowest in the class.

I think this will end up just like with KTM but worse. I'm sorry but i have very little faith in Hill. Yes he is fast and talented but this outdoor season has shown that the issues that he had when he went pro are still there.

Like Matthes says, a 250 regional title is almost nothing if you can't do something with it.
You sure think a lot, motofinne.

Well i'm not convinced. Hill + a 2018 RMZ 250 doesn't sound like a successful story.

"Why would a sponsor spends upwards of millions of dollars to work with an athlete they don't want? Btw, I'm not stating this as a direct comment as to what may or may not have happened in Barcia's case,"

C'mon ML, this is exactly what happened in this case and you know that. Nothing wrong with saying it, it's not you who made the decision.
Reedy to RMATV KTM or his own KTM with help from Factory KTM but coin from Monster?

No, sounds like Marty is signing with PC Monster Kawasaki and AC just said his renewed his contract with PC Monster Kawasaki.

Davalos is on arguably one of the two fastest bikes on the track (the other being the factory KTM), and he looks great on it. I'd be suprised if he jumped ship.

I read a rumor about Bogle and MCR...but the news today that Jake Weimer signed with them takes care of that question. I got nothing. He's looking good though, and with a moto win under his belt, he ought to get a solid ride.

Rockstar Husky is full with Osborne/Mosiman in 250s and Anderson/Wilson in 450s

With Bogle's potential both indoors and out, I think he'll get a good ride. Remember, as others mentioned, MCR is a SX only team.

You really think the husky being "fast" is why Marty is doing so good?
