Good luck to Robby! I know he's pretty happy with the new KX.

They were happy (for the most part) with Honda, it's just that Honda, is cutting back so much, and limited them. Kawasaki, on the other hand, is moving forward.

It's an interesting situation for sure. 3 straight Baja Championsips for Robby and 11 for Precision Concepts and its never enough. So much for if it ain't broke...

There's a little more to it than "if it aint broke" I've known JC for 20 years, and the Bell's for ten. There is no bad blood, just a direction change.

Yeah I was gonna say that this would be the first factory backed Kawasaki in Baja for 15 or so years. I say put him on one of the Service 500's if he can fit Baja in.

I know them both too and its a direction that shouldn't have happened for either of them.

That kid got really good, really fast! Reminds me of McGrath. He also didn't take long to jump from a novice to pro.

be awesome to see a KX500AF winning the baja....
Keep dreaming. As close as you'll get will be a stroker KLX450 which believe me big boy, would smoke a KX500AF in Baja.
