good to see the MX Kied out there tearin' it up. Looks as fast as Barcia! New entry in the Monster cup?
The track is impressive. A place where all skill levels and ages can ride and have fun without the fear of casing a supercross double and missing 6 weeks of work. If more tracks were designed like that one I'd ride more MX.
funny to see Mx Kied on a honda; so used to associating him with kawi. guy was looking good; and i didnt know he still rode at all. the funny thing was the #17 on the bike and even Kied was revving it like barcia would! haha!!
OMG, that's Justin Barcia's number! Does this mean he's riding a Honda next year?!
Oh, there's Barcia right there...never mind.
And does the engine look tilted a lil like the Yamahas, or has it been like that? Maybe not the best bike to copy, ifyouknowwhatimean. I guess all motors are a little more vertical these days though...
MX Kied was one of my all time favorite riders. He never seemed like the same rider after he broke his hand at Unadilla though.
The bike looks good (because it's a Honda) but it just didnt look all that fast. Not much excitement. Maybe they needed more slow-mo footage? Maybe it was just MXKied's style. He never was a flashy rider but he got the job done back in the day. It looked better with Barcia on it but I think I'll stick with the mighty '450'.
