The Coenen brothers are coming over and most likely under the KTM tent, Kay de Wolf shows interest in the Merican easy money. Top young GP talents are on their way
How insane would it be to have Tomac and Deegan at Ducati in 2026?! That would sell the living snot out of that bike and help develop their team immensely. Man… I hope it happens. Deegan could train with Eli and John in Cortez. That would be one hell of a team.
@@georgelynch6139 Deegan sells more bikes than any other rider in the world right now. Guaranteed. Ducati wants to break into the U.S. motocross market, you go with someone like Deegan. “Mentally stable”? You’re a petty hater. Tomac is still fast and was dealing with injury this past SX season. Still won. He’s going to come back better than what he was this year. He also has a huge following and an incredible amount of experience. He could help develop the 450. It’s a no brainer.
@@MrIke303 Sorry that your dreams are not the reality, KTM overtook Yamaha in off road sales. Why would you think someone would buy a bike because #38 rides one?
@@georgelynch6139 I’m not talking about comparing brands. You must not realize how many people bought a Yamaha or as KTM (when he rode KTM) just because Deegan rides it. Thousands of bikes were sold because of him. I myself have seen hundreds of comments over the years of people saying they bought a particular bike because of him. It’s foolish to think he doesn’t sells bikes by riding them on his social media accounts. That’s how marketing works.
Justin coop can expect more money,once he actually wins yamaha a premiere title,so far he's lack luster in supercross starting great in nationals and fading..it's not a great resume for what he wants.
@redryder1146 for sure,but he wants money webb and tomac are getting,they have 450 titles he only has 1 250 west title.im sure star knows he really doesn't have many options, so they don't have to pay him top tier.
@stephenadams5223 you wouldn't have the slightest clue, and even if you were right that would have absolutely nothing to do with Troy Lee becoming Ducati. I would venture to guess beta probably already talked to Troy Lee the first time through as these rumors have popped up for the last 3 years about Pierre mobility downsizing etc. You a trials guy or a trails guy? Beta is a fitting name for a beta bike 🤣
Are you saying a B team or what? He's been on both factory teams previously and his results don't warrant either right now. If you mean like a Phoenix Honda or a club Yamaha I would fully agree with you.
With Ducati coming in 26 it gives them a year to get shop set up with TLD. The two brands are both iconic, and I can't think of a better way to break into US MX.
HEP more likely , Suzuki deal is through till end of 25, 26 Ducati should be here and should expect roczen to go straight on to it with same team and different bike , would be perfect fit
Is this a question or a statement? I understand that grammar is difficult these days though. These are your 2 options for correcting the comment: Should Firepower Honda join forces with Troy Lee? OR Firepower Honda should join forces with Troy Lee.
Bottom line HONDA IS the best quality period! BUT I recently bought a 2024 YZ 125 and I'm absolutely impressed with it! Wish Honda made two strokes still, BUT😂, seeing they don't! Yamaha is the best now in my book! I never thought I'd be saying this BUT I now realize I have been living a lie😢, BLU CRUE💙👍RIDE 🟥DEAD😮💔, 2 SMOKES 4EVA 🍻🏆😎
in other words, it now handles like an RMZ, bogs less than a Kawi, might have the mid range of a KTM, with the same limited top end rev of the Yamaha. fine. i want one.
14:41 Your rm 125 review is dumb.. That track is like air field so straight and boring you son is idiot and you just trying to give rm bad name... Come to foxhill in uk proper track and say 125 is slow that's 450 track your riding... Also the riders doing supercross on 125 were better riders because they could make jumps it was different skill level in two stroke days... All these 4 strokes are easier to ride they have traction like tractor coming out of corners and you have that 4 stroke engine brake you all rely on coming in to corners...a good guy on 250 2 stroke can rip... Your lad was bogging that rm 125 in corners on 450 track so he definitely not good 2 stroke rider... Jay get some better test riders and someone who ain't suzuki hater tell father and son to come to foxhill vmxdn 2025 real man's motorcross track and say 125 is slow. a factory rm 125 back in day was loads faster that's standard engine with pipe and it's only slow on drag racing track your test riders are riding it on in America... Bad review guys come to proper old school track in uk are guys will smoke you
