Just a good dude. Hope he does well with this comeback! 👍

[@scottdries1106]

Suzukis have always cornered well. Kinda cool that they stay so close to their roots👍

[@panic-revv85]

They wanted to develop, and he wants to race. Sounds like he doesn't want to be the guinea pig.

[@toddsherman6560]

Dilla Baby!!! 45 looks great on the RM.

[@aus-rider]

He did nothing on a factory Honda, and he will do nothing on any other 450 he rides, I’m not hating on the guy, most of the time the 250 guys move up to 450, it just isn’t the same.

[@brendenbacal2241]

he had 1 year on a brand new bike and was a consistent top 10 guy. keep that in mind

[@hung8969]

Joined a BRAND NEW factory team and says “sometimes it doesn’t suit you” huh? Pretty sure that’s the kinda task of riding a BRAND NEW BIKE??? Goofy goofy

[@danielarney9729]

Bata was a good looking bike

[@jammespaniagua6371]

Is it possible to put an electric starter on a factory RM?

[@ChrisTFlipper-e7r]

Yup google it.. you can get a kit

[@jammespaniagua6371]

@@ChrisTFlipper-e7r So why wouldn't a team do it? does it go against regulations? I know I can google all this stuff but I'm at work hahaha

@@jammespaniagua6371they have to have the same platform as the production bikes. It has to stay kick start until Suzuki puts electric on their production stock bike.

@@CG-11235spiral makes sense

[@yamahakid450f]

@CG-11235spiral Not true, it's because of weight and vibration it adds. Kenny already tried it in testing. The production rule only covers engine cases, frame (you can weld braces and cut the stock subframe), and swigarm must be like the stock platform... or stock bike, you can add another stock swingarm from a different year production bike. Star did it last year by adding the longer '22 swingarm for outdoors in order to get more stability at speed.The rest is fair game, including adding an electric start.

Dustin and HEP are throwing money away hiring Colt

[@mxdocumentarytvmxdocumenta2221]

Watch his results stay the same he can change bikes all he wants nothing will change

[@truthboomertruthbomber5125]

“They wanted to go a different direction” = no sales - no revenue = no money for a big race team.

[@Demstaal]

Hep Suzuki may be better for him ! It’s a good Handling Bike ! But to Honest he has had so many good rides Including Factory Honda! It may be his last chance!

[@atinygrilledcheese4296]

years of excuses

[@TheAlaskacabin]

Colt is never going to be what he could have been. His "Direction" has been so wrong in many ways. He will never have results as they could have been. He is definitely riding into the sunset and its going to a short ride. Bad choices as Ferry's. Just watch........

[@Jeremy-bc2sz]

that bike feels like a ‘14 yz and complete TRASH. all of the beta riders have said.

[@genesis2187]

Colt is one of those guys who can certainly talk the talk but when it comes to putting your money where your mouth is and walking the walk the guy just doesn’t have it. Resting his laurels on the 250 title.

Ot the bike is a piece of crap.

The Honda?

@Jeremy-bc2sz A buddy bought one. He said it was junk. Sold in the next month.

Terrible representative of any brand he rides for.
