A 16 Year Old Ken Roczen Takes On The World

[@buffetline2605]

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

[@vikingson9000]

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]

@@vikingson9000 never thought Ken rode dirty. Just was more aggressive when he came on. No James Stewart, but aggressive.

[@vikingson9000]

@@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 ?

[@manoliswec5674]

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!!!!!

[@emilkarlsson3800]

Indeed

Hard out fan fav world wide the man kenny

[@vikingson9000]

ditto!!

[@jonsnow178]

He’d have at least 4 chips if he never got injured

[@DouweEgbert]

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

[@michaelblough3509]

Even then Roczen had insane speed in the first couple laps. Crazy to watch.

[@brunokrau5071]

please more of this so good to see the good times of Young kenny

This is some of the best footage you’ve ever produced. Keep it up! 👍

Hands down my favourite motocross channel man!!!

[@danarrington2224]

It's crazy how much better those yellow bikes were back then. Kenny looked like a totally different rider on them. So did Dungey.

[@tcmx712]

It almost seems like that a young Roczen was a better racer but older Roczen is a better rider!!!

[@KamrenKoster]

kens english has gotten so much better

Rare vintage video indeed

[@superfly2506]

Herlings vs Roczen again in the 2022.What a dream

[@BioDjango]

It would be so cool if you did the 2011 mxgp season (mx1 and mx2) aswell

[@wd840mxhighlights]

ill put that down n the list

herlings & others prib glad roczen came to the states

[@wd840mxhighlights]

Yeah it would have looked a little different over there.

And a Georgia Lindsay sighting.

[@foolcooker6529]

Hey I have an idea ! .. maybe you have done it already but if not .. you should do a “best saves” compilation… or “near crashes” or something like that … the best one I can think of is Weston Peick going down mt saint helen and about died !

[@wd840mxhighlights]

some othe5r channels have done that but ill keep that in mind!

Yeh he was on the LS Honda & switched to KTM a few races in when he won his first title. Strange the year before Tommy Searle was lapping Musquin

[@jonm5942]

@@gildo101rossi I generally find it strange how much riders step their game up when joining Red Bull KTM. Look at Vialles 1st and 2nd season with KTM.. or Musquin and Tixier.. they got so good once they were on a 250SXF

[@gildo101rossi]

@@jonm5942 well it’s not only the bikes they give their riders it’s the structure they have in place for fitness, riding coaches etc etc.

[@6VIERTE9]

Tbh he still rides the same lol so cool

[@gawdszn302]

Why do yall think herlings stayed & never came over like others?

[@herbcanter2114]

Because SX is much harder to win . MM and Kenny still haven't done it .

[@Davinhomx]

Juat so people know Musquin was already 21 years of age at that point

[@wd840mxhighlights]

Fun fact!

[@Davinhomx]

@@wd840mxhighlights just wanted to say that. To put it into perspective. While a Roczen with 16 was beating and fighting a 21 year old marv in the MX2GP class a 16 year old haiden deegan races against amateurs and can't even make top 10s in MX2 class at the nationals. But they hype him as the second coming of mcgrath

[@4472ify]

destined to shine , shame he didn't stay for a full mxgp campaign , the US dream was to strong , would he have been at HRC in europe & making it a 6way title fight with ,herlings,prado,febvre,gaijser ,seewer

[@rbrinks5]

Herlings was only 16 at this time as well

Now let's remember 2016 Suzuki was probably around either dead last or the second of that last just like it is now funny how he meant he took it to the top even back then that bike wasn't supposed to be all that good guess you all were wrong that big banana whoop some ass now it's going to whoop some more Duda
