Well just as my topic says...what im wondering is if he is still ridding for honda next year....on hondas website with the pics of the new 06 450r...Tim Farr aint in none of those pics...Its all pics of John Natalie...So wondering if honda dropped Farr and backed Natalie? The reason i say this is because when the 450r first came out there was pictures of Tim Farr ridding the 450r and now its Natalie...

Honda is supporting more than 1 rider. It is much easier to do a photo shoot with 1 rider. Tim did it the last couple years and now they have some fresh blood with Natalie.

Besides, Honda will sell more with the current champ in the pics and ads.

Farr is still a great rider but at this point in their careers Natalie is better. Just like for Suzuki Jones will eventually be better than Gust. Maybe as soon as this year.

Tim took one look at the Headlight, looked at John and said, "nah man, it's all you..." :D

Tim will probably retire and go race sprint cars.

I can't remember clearly but I do believe he's raced sprint cars in the past and he's said when he retires he'll race baja trucks or sprint cars. He would probably benefit getting into either one of those sports soon if he plans to make a new career. I imagine after his contract is up with Honda, that's what he'll do, just a hunch.

His riding contract may be up next year but his development contract was for 7 years I believe. As far as the sprint cars Tim was doing that alot a few years ago, but since the Factory deal he seemes to be focused on just the quads.
