Pretty crazy that both my childhood heros have moved on from Suzuki, I grew up watching Ricky and Travis absolutely upset the balance of the earth with what they could do on those bikes, from double backflips to championships. Kind of sucks to see both their legacies with Suzuki come to an end but I can't blame them.

Class Act this RC guy seems to be, not trash talking the brand or burning any bridges.

Obviously he didn’t hear that the 2021 RMZ450 has generated 27 pages of HYPE!

Ricky is one of the sport's greatest, not just on the track, but as a person as well. I hope where ever he goes, he is happy! He certainly deserves a great retirement job that he will enjoy, he has given so much to the sport.

I thought Matthes confirmed that Suzuki had a new president who was more commitment to MX?

If Kawi manages to get both Ricky and MC on board as ambassadors I'll buy a fucking KX tomorrow! hahaha

Great press release. RC seems very loyal to the team that gave him a chance when Honda threw in the towel on the guy. I'm excited to see what RC has in store for the future.

Kawi had MC/RV at the same time, they’re not afraid of two brand ambassadors. Maybe MC is transitioning to stepping away from moto, RC going to take his place. Plus I’m sure Kawi would like to have someone in the booth with some kx affiliation

MC will never transition away from MOTO. MC is MOTO.
