So let me get this straight a week ago everyone was saying Motoconcepts was a great fit, now we are saying JGR is a great fit....??? With Motoconcepts he basically gets a factory bike, with JGR he doesnt...perhaps it will come down to who pays him the more?

^^ you do know JGR is factory Suzuki right? He could get just as many parts, especially since he has won them a title

I thought they were the official factory Suzuki team since RCH shut up shop. Now they have the 250 team in house they're factory all the way.

I'm not sure he would get a factory bike at Motoconcepts either. From what i remember Brayton wasn't on the HRC bike, he had factory suspension and some other good bits but not the full deal.

Most of us jumped off his nuts awhile ago. Hes a narcissistic asshole not unlike armstronk. Who cares what he does, hes not fast enough to be relevant anymore and doesnt have the character to substitute for the speed either.
He's evidently still relevant enough to get some offers.

The old fart couldn’t make a SX main unless he tried. What a loser. Then he’d have to be on the gate at the beginning, then ride like 20 laps or more to finish. And that ain’t gonna happen ever again this year, in this country.
Career over.

He finished in the top 10 several times in 2018 Supercross season. So pretty much if any one finishes behind chad in a race there career is over and should retire? hahaha your a ding bat.
he didnt prep for the supercross season and still kicked ass over pro's who had an entire off season to prepare for supercross.

As always,its a long shot... but reed with the right bike settings and has everything clicking on that night. i wouldnt be suprised to see a podium finish in him.

hooroo, catch ya cobba.





Ya gotta read a little more carefully.
Come on, man.

Motoconcepts is not a factory bike . JGR is a full blow official Suzuki factory bike. Imo It won't come down to the bike anyway it will be how the team works and money etc . Reed likes to do things his own way on a factory team like JGR you can t do that as much as say motoconcepts . So will come down to stuff like than rather than the bike imo

Dam he looks "comfortable" on that Zuk. Hope he ends up there. Better option for customising to his needs

My favorite year to watch Reed was 09 on the zook. I think this would be a great move for both sides. Hope it works out!

I think MCR would be better. Tony seems to be a great Team Manager and is willing to do whatever it takes for his riders. I dont think the same of JBone just from some of his past riders comments. Reed seems to be a guy who has to have things 100% his way and I just think that Tony would cater to him better then JBone. Also, I just can't help but look at JGR's past and think they are doing something wrong. Do they have some success here and there? Yes, but look at the talent they have had and the results of said riders before they were on JGR and then what they did while on JGR. No idea what the actual numbers are, just going off of my spotty memories though, so maybe I'm way off. IDK.

I think you're way off. Justin Hill is gunna be a contender in 19 sx and Reed and Peick are a podium threat with a ton of top 5 s and top 10s. Solid team with what's available..

I think Reed could do well on either bike, he needs to go to the team where he can be the happiest and build his confidence. The new Honda sounds like it is pretty good from the shootout, and I think Reed can get the front end feel he likes on the Suzuki. I just want to see him have one last solid season
