Suzuki #1

[Gator]

I expect a full-page apology ad from every magazine/website that has called the Suzuki outdated for the past 8 years or so.   Lol.  Way to go Kenny!!

This was so epic! He finally did it!

And yes i called it at the beginning. 

[Poolio]

I wonder how long it's been since a bike with a kickstarter won the SX title ?

[B-dub#15]

Oh hell yes!

I cried.

Reading the details from an interview with his surgeon in Vail back in 2017, he was close to losing his arm. When he won a race again many years later I thought it was amazing, but did not expect the Supercross title to ever happen for him. So happy for everyone involved, and the response from his peers was so good.

Not that anyone dislikes Hunter, but he has time. I wonder how much longer Ken will race professionally!?

[MattyMX32]

I wouldn't blame him if he retired. He's earned it.

Sounds like he's doing a limited outdoor schedule. Good for him. I cant even imagine having that much of a fight in SX and then taking two weeks off and grinding all summer on hot rough tracks.

I'd think he will come back in 2027 for the farewell tour to run the #1, and then probably be done with Pro racing

This goes here. Just posted by Fox Racing.

B-dub and Kenny are responsible keeping Suzuki's in the spotlight.

Still outdated! Haha I'm STOKED for the 2026 450SX outcome, but we'd all be singing a different tune had the RMZ stalled in either of the last two races. As it stands, one of Kenny's worst races was Seattle SX when he and Hunter got together in the sand. Lawrence got up, e-started to 4th, Roczen kicked away in the sand and ultimately finished in 10th. Also - Can't hide the weight factor and even K-Roc's race bike is significantly heavier than other Factory rides:

2014: Ryan Villopoto. Before Villo, it would have been 2010 Dungey and 2009 JS7 👍

What if he repeats......?   He earned this title, it wasn't a luck thing.  As knarly as this sport is, there is a decent chance Jett could crash out.  Tomac is fragile.  He can beat Webb.  Sexton will Sexton.

Coincidence that the 2027 RMZ's are finally being updated!?
