Nice rumor, but I'm not so sure I'd call that one a done deal.

He's the only available guy out there that they should think about picking up IMO.

I hear stuff all the time. One third of it makes me laugh. One third makes me shake my head sadly. In the remaining third? There are occasional nuggets worth listening to. The rest? Just junk and wishful thinking.

Almost seems like a good agent would help these rumors along to help contract negotiations.

I go to the front page for press releases and here for rumors. The ones that make me shake my head are the most fun, I hope no one searches here for the facts.

I will claim with certainty though to have seen every single one of the truisms later posted in a press release appear here as a rumor at some point or another. Mostly it is probably just good guessing.

pretty sure that from everything he has said in interviews, if he does leave it won't be by his choice. if Suzuki has signed Dungey to a big 450 deal like the rumor mill has stated, they probably won't have enough left over to offer Reed anything.

seriously.... wtf would suzuki pick dungey over reed?

reed is a proven championship contender both indoors and out.

dungey?

08 he blew it. 09 he has done good, but nowhere near on par with what reed has done.

suzuki would be shooting themselves in the foot for taking dungey over reed. imo.

This next season its all going to be all about MONEY, what the teams have to spend and what the racers will take. If one wants big bucks because he is a Champion and the team doesn't have it he will look at another team, of course it wouldn't hurt to listem to other teams and see if your old team can match it or come close either.

A) Suzuki probably has a 1st offer deal set up

Cool Reed seems comfortable and much faster on Suzuki

C) Decoster seems to like him

D) He just won the Championship and has momentum into SX

E) Championships have a way of helping Japan come up with more money

F) Reed is going to win the MXDN's

GuyB,

In your "opinion" what are the odds you think Reed will be riding Zuki again next year?? Come hook us up here, we know you know...

Thanks for playing...

I'm not so sure there's a Factory Suzuki for Reed to stay with. But I think there are attempts to keep him on the top Yellow bike team next year. If riding a Honda keeps him out there it's better than nothing but now that he seems to be getting better he looks damn good on that Yellow bike.

Let's see, maybe Dungey is young up and comer, Reed is nearing the end of his career.

I have no idea why where riders are going is such a big secret. In every major sport, when a player visits a team we hear about it. If a player gets an offer we know about it. If a player takes a physical we know about it. But in motocross this stuff seems to be some kind off big secret. And instead of jurnalists reporting about it, they all want to play the rumor game. I know there is someone out there that works for a mag, that knows who exactly Reed has visited, and what the offer was. Or at least someone should its part of being a reporter.

Well, if RedBull has anything to do with it they will make up whatever money Honda doesn't just to have James and Chad both in the family. I see this being nothing but a win/win for Chad and RedBull Honda.

It's more like there's communication with Honda but Suzuki is still on the line (with a different title sponsor?) and Kawi is a very strong possibility, over Honda?

Didn't Reed "blow it" in '09? Just saying.

Either way, I'm sure that Ryan will be a little easier on their pocketbooks and considering that he has the potential to get on the podium next year letting Reed go may not be the big of a deal to them. They could end up with more return on their investment.

I think Honda should pick up Chad, but that's just MHO.

I'm surprised you think Reed blew it and gave the SX title to Stewart. Since Stewart only won by a couple of points I wonder how much you think Reed would have won by had he not blown it. I didn't realize you jumped off the Bubba train.
