"That would be good news if the DT came back as
there are many older riders and novice riders who
need a reasonable seat height!"
Arizona Supercross
Ryan Dungey rode great com-
ing through the pack the way
he did.
It's obvious to me that Eli
Tomac's stamina just isn't there
yet, he looked great the first
half of the race then finished
way off the pace, but could
be bike setup is not where it
should be.
Congrats to Ken Roczen.

That was an awesome track
layout. Very entertaining. It
looks like the extra speed (fast
track) didn't translate into more
rider risk. The first turn was an
excellent transition for slowing
them down as evidenced by (I
think) crash-free entrances for
the most part.
Great to see Ken Roczen
finally getting it right. Some-
body has got to take it to Ryan
Dungey who is just riding/
racing at the top of his game.
I don't think anyone else is
even close. I thought Eli Tomac
would be, but I think he must
still be learning the Kawasaki.

Come Back
That would be good news if
the DT came back as there are
many older riders and novice
riders who need a reasonable
seat height! Sometimes you
have got to be able to get a flat,
solid foot down on the downhill
side of a slope and that's when
a 34-plus-inch seat height is a
disaster—not everyone needs
10 inches of suspension travel
and 11 inches of ground clear-
ance.
Personally, I'd also like to
see Honda resurrect the SL
series of bikes. Not only were
they bulletproof but they were
some of the best-looking bikes
ever made.
In either case, the styling
should be based on the
rounder pre-1975 models and
not the ugly slab-sided ones
that came later.

This bike is so cool it leaves a
contrail of frost...

These bikes will do much bet-
ter than 150 miles on a tank of
gas. These bikes get 60 to 70
mpg. And this new Husky has a
bigger rear tank than the KTM.
It will also have an add-on front
tank option from Husky adding
even more range. Sweet bike if
you do more off-road than on-
road adventures.
