Baggett Sighting
L
ook who we saw at the Fox Raceway AMA Pro
Motocross last weekend. Yes, that's former factory
motocrosser Blake Baggett who went incognito after
a falling out with his Rocky Mountain ATV-MC/WPS/
KTM Team a few years ago.
Baggett was spectating along with his family. He
still looks fit as ever but didn't reveal any updates with
us. He did say he's been in "hibernation" and enjoying
life as a dad.

Honda Introduces SCL500 "Scrambler"
H
onda announced that the new SCL500
"scrambler"-style motorcycle is coming to the
U.S. market. Honda says the SCL500 "is a nod to
Honda's rich history, dating all the way back to the
1960s when the CL72 and CL77 were offered."
The SCL500 is based on the Rebel 500 platform.
"More than any manufacturer, Honda has
consistently demonstrated an ability to deliver
fun, retro motorcycles that scratch a nostalgic
itch while offering the performance and reliability
for which Honda is so well known," said Brandon
Wilson, American Honda Manager of Sports &
Experiential. "That's the case with the all-new
SCL500, and we're confident it will be a hit with
American customers."
The SCL500 features key "scrambler" styling
elements—upright riding position, high-routed
exhaust, block tires, ample suspension travel and
a retro aesthetic. And, of course, many accesso
-
ries will be offered for the SCL500, which will be
available in June with a $6799 MSRP.
