    Oh the Suzuki days. Ken rode wide open aggressive back in those days. I think he got a little too conservative after the injuries. But he is still amazing rider. 94 flows

      Equipment Coordinator if you watch him though he still rides basically the same? He never forces himself to pass and not aggressively taking out people to make the pass, he does it cleanly, thats just KR? Is that bad to be clean rider especially after his injuries ?

      @@buffetline2605 I agree, although some ppl including myself think he should be much more aggressive especially when it comes to Webb and take him out ? Do you know how many more wins he would have ?

    biggest talent of the previous decade, even better than herlings imo. He dominated ama too but injuries stop a dominant career. Still root for him and hope 2022 is his comeback yea!!!!!

      Herlings has passed him , no doubt . Both are the best of their era , so true .
      one went AMA as he wanted to race SX , other stayed at MXGP and won 5 world titles and 99 GPs and still counting
