Bubba on a 450F ?

I hope Bubba stays pure.

His one ride on a four-stroke 250f didn't impress me much. He was still faster than the entire field. But no more so that on his 125.

Well you know Adam, RC does have the choice this year.

In the new pin up video at Transworld it showed some new model (forgot her name) doing her thing on Ricky's RMZ450. I believe the choice has already been made.

I bet he rides what ever he is consistantly faster on. Hope it's a 2 stroke!

Is this refering to this years nationals? Kawisaki doesn't even make a 450 so if he does ride on one it will be a one time deal because of the pre prodution rule. So that means he will be ridding a 250. I believe that I am right.

^^^^^Not right.

Kawasaki and Suzuki have the same four-stroke 450.

I'm guessing, if they have sorted out the teething pains from the last couple seasons, we'll be seeing RC and Bubba both on thumpers out-doors this year.

Saw that too, however they build the factory riders factory 250's and 450's to ride so it may not be even the EXACT bike he'll be riding.

Don't get me wrong, I'm believing he will ride a thumper as well (sadly) however, the choice is still there.

Personally I think Ricky's smoothest season was 2002 outdoor season on his CR250.

Thanks for making the connection motogeezer! lol... I got a little ahead of myself but you got what I was saying.

Do you have any proof that they are, I recall hearing that they weren't joint projects. Kawisaki doesn't even say that they have a 450 the the website. You are refering to the 05 season/bikes aren't you?

The 450's, 80's, 125's and 250's are all diffrent

Suzuki and Kawasaki share kid's bikes (up to 100cc) and off-road fourstrokes.

Little RMs and KXs, and RMZs and KXFs are exactly the same except for color

they have the same 250f not 450f.

i think they also share the 65cc, 100cc, drz110, rmz250f. I think that is all that they share. There 85's are not the same, but they share alot of bikes.

The RMz/kxf 250 was mostly kawasaki's design. Suzuki just gave them the motor plans.

It's been a while since I read the press-release, but I could swear that it said that Suzuki didn't have a full line of kid's bikes, and Kawasaki didn't have high performance off-road four-strokes, so they made a technology trade.

I guess I just assumed it was all inclusive.

That means a pinger could win the National Championship. COOL!

i hope stewart wins. this way i can say " Boo Yaa" to all the thumper riders at the track...

If RC was smart he would ride a 2-stroke! i hope he does but i don't think he will.

It'd help the 2 stroke market in general a lot if the big stars like RC and Bubba are riding pingers (and winning races, championships)
