Who is going to race the KFX450 in GNCC?

[xraven35]

I heard a rumor that somebody has signed with Kawasaki to ride in 07'. But nobody knows who it is yet... any ideas?

[700bRad]

I bet you its going to be Smiley, Polaris's old gncc rider. I just betcha!

[xraven35]

I dunno. Theres so many possibilities. I highly doubt Smiley likes that polaris though.

[DVX440]

Chris Jenks....??? *shrugs* Thats my guess

[sadinkins]

william yokley i bet.

[firefighterjosh]

Smiley will. Since he started riding polaris he hasn't done to well

[bradley300]

actually, since he started riding elkas he hasnt done well. he didnt ever do well on his yamaha, switched to the polaris and got a few podiums, then swithed to elkas this year and it seems like he slowed way down

[shaff107]

Those Elka's are what they looked to be ... they work really really well ...

the reason is just because of polaris ....

if were the shocks then why would he wanted to ride a honda with these elka's?

[bradley300]

maybe becasue he is sponsored by elka?? the point is, he did just fine in 05 on his predator. what was the one change they made to his predator between 05 and 06? SHOCKS

[QUADROOKIE]

Rhett Butler

[josh30917]

I heard from a good source that Yokley is going to be making the switch from Suzuki to Kawasaki. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[jlm996s]

Rhett Butler

I hope your right about Rhett. I've seen him at the local races and he's seems to be a really good guy.

[450raider]

im guessin Yokley, but really i dont care who it is i hope they can dethrone Ballance (at first i was hoping Borich would take him but now it doesnt matter as long as someone beats him just because he looks like hes 42 or something and thats not cool).

[m4skinner]

My 1st guess is yokley because of Monster energy and my 2nd is Adam McGill because something I read on another forum makes me think he is getting a factory ride have to wait and see.

[XCRacer236]

It doesn't really matter to me who rides the 450. I think that thing is a piece anyway, so. Also, whoever rides it will still be tasting Ballance's dust for 1 more year!!!

Since they haven't even produced one yet to the public how could you call it a piece? I assume you have ridden it? Tell us all about it!!

WHAT A PUNK!:huh

[Mooreboy3]

There are a few people who come to mind when thinking of who will be riding the Green Machine. I first thought of The Yoak, considering all the trouble he has had with getting the Suzuki narrow enought to fit through the trails. Second I think it could be Jeremy Rice. He is a super fast privateer who won the Pro-Am class 2 years ago. Adam McGill would be a good choice also. Who knows until it is all announced. All of these guys would be a good choice.

[josh30917]

I heard for sure that Yokley is gonna be riddin the Kawi with a very good possibility of Jenks riding also. Suzuki is left with no one for right now. Rice had so many problems with his transmissions that he may not be wanting to ride the Suk either. Thats the word for now.

[SQUEAK]

i dunno to much about the race side but i heard to day that ballance is selling all his factory rides i know guy that races with him

and he'll get new yamaha's for next year.

[bradley300]

heard thru the grapevine, suk will have someone. dont know how priveledged the info was, so i cant say who

[QUADROOKIE]

It's official, Yokely is riding green! Thats awesome! I am anxious to see who all else will be on te new Kawi. I wish I could afford one, but looks like I will have to wait til next year.

[shaff107]

i was told at the GNCC banquet that it was

Yokley
Baker
Butler

[bradley300]

that makes sense, i forgot baker used to ride a v-force for team green

[JackA450r]

I heard from a reliable source that Kurt Mcgill is riding for Team Green next year.

How much $$$ do you think Suzuki will throw at BB to be a part of the record breaking championship???? Lets see, in GNC Gust was the man so he got the ride, JJ was the next big up and comer so he was #2, now Wimmer is heir to the throne so he's up now. In the AMA bikes RC was king forever so they lured him away from Honda for big $$$, in the GNCC bikes Rodney was on top for what seemed like forever. Plus they are the title sponsor for the GNCC... so I would not be SURPRISED if BB was on the Suzi next year.

[BSTURDIVANT]

Bill anounced that he just signed with Yamaha for another 2 years!

[shaff107]

BB signed with Yamaha ... but i heard that he was talking to Suki. but they called him a half hour late with the offer because they did call at the right time ....

Suki 7
Yamaha 7:30


but ... suki ended up calling at 8 and BB already had done the deal with Yamaha ....

DOH!!!

[PeeWee21]

I just wished someone would step up they're game and beat BB.....i know, i sound like i'm whining, it just reminds me of Nascar with the same few winning races and championships. I'll hand it to him, it's not like he has it handed to him, he works for it, i'm just ready to see a new face as champion!!! Until someone steps up they're game and beats him he'll be champion again.

[shaff107]

Every year ... everyone of the top guys step it up ... but! Bill also steps it up .. but he just steps alittle bigger....

Exactly! I think the only thing that can stop Ballance now is mother nature (age)! And that may be a couple years away yet.

I heard Juha Salminen is gonna leave KTM and ride the Kawi 450 quad.

[erac4019]

Dude...puff puff GIVE, you're messin up the rotation!!!!

All the wild speculation going on here looked like fun.

Figgered I was missing out.

[calds650]

How about Chris Bithell ?

Bubba Stewart would be the best guy for it.... very fast....and he wouldn't have to worry about that little balance thing....

[YAMAHAVIPER]

SO WHAT IS BORICH GONNA RIDE????????SUZUKI?????????



BALLANCE WILL WIN#8 AND THEN DO R&D FOR YAMAHA

[hasbeenttduner]

William Yokley

[EastCoast330]

I was hoping to see Borich with team green this year also, Does anybody know how long is contract with Honda is? I'M glad they got Yokley but I was wondering if that is there only rider for GNCC? and if they are going to have a rig at the GNCC or the WPSA?

[xcquad466]

honda got rid of sponsorship this year in all off-road racing. borich will be without backing from honda but who cares. he's still one hell of a rider!

[Mooreboy3]

The Yoak is the man for Kawasaki!!!!!

[xraven35]

Borich and Smiley are both racing 450R's for East Coast ATV!!!

[shaff107]

Thats only a demo / show / test bike .... i cant wait to see the real deal with the #4 on it
