What Bike Should I RACE in 2019?

[@ddavisgaming]

I really liked how you looked on that Honda. It would be a treat to see you under the HRC rig with Ken and Cole.

[@gavinwilson8636]

OMG that would be the best

[@DjayBCX800]

Not gonna happen..

[@snapperdawg5876]

Yea cuz CS will lawn dart.i like the guy but hes always on the deck.ride red DINO

[@kalebfew3186]

Hey Davis I know u from mx sim

[@cmnieman1]

I hope not. I want him to have more attention. Going Honda will put this behind them in regards to support.

[@InsideTheCityRenoEdition]

Dean! Would love to pay some entry fees for you. Been a big fan since amateur days. But also, would like to give back, when you were with Mitch you guys sent Addysen some goggles for a video she made talking about you. Would love to cover some gate fees or fuel. Let’s figure it out.

[@trickynic3866]

Ill pitch in

[@alexlugar4831]

I think he sells merch? Probably your guys best bet to help him out

[@jakef6341]

i’ll pitch in

[@robertrishel3685]

Yes! Set up a go fund me page kid. I’d be in on that as well.

[@Factory928AC]

That’s awsome of you man. If people didn’t know the meaning of giving back , this is it. Kuddos to u man and I’ll pitch in if the gofund me gets started as long as someone notifies me!

[@steveo1kinevo]

I just bought a 19 YZ450F and the thing is crazy fast. My advice is to probably go with the Husqvarna as that is what you are used to.

[@deansikorski6596]

Dean, a fan from Canada. You said the 2019 Kawasaki KX fits you the best and feels very comfortable. With a Pro-Circuit/Mitch Payton race engine and suspension setup it would be outstanding. Already was the 2nd fastest lap time today, on a stock bike. Good support and premium suspension setup will give you the edge. Best of luck on your choice!

[@scavenpoop7006]

These 2019 Honda’s look mint☘️ you looked amazing on it. I think u should ride one

[@moto6153]

I’m always rooting for you Deano. I went to southwick when you were on 250’s and I was in the pits after the autograph signing session. You were in the pits talking with your family and you immediately walked over to me and signed my stuff. Stopped talking to your family so you could give some kid, me, an autograph. I’ll never forget that, I’ll always root for you because of how you handle yourself and how you interact with your fans. Kick ass this season Deano!

[@jordanfisher2285]

Gotta go with the Kawi bro. I’m a Honda guy myself but have heard amazing things about the Kawi this year. You looked pretty comfortable on it and was only a second off your fastest lap on the bike you’ve ridden the last 2 years. Plus I think Mitch would appreciate you riding green again if he’s willing to help you with parts and all that😉. Thanks for the Vid, keep em comin, cheers!

[@honda8192]

You’re a Honda guy what do you ride?

[@todddooley793]

You're a good person Deano! Hard to believe a SX podium guy from last year doesn't have a ride. Stay strong and keep doing your thing, you'll be back on a team very soon. Good luck! Oh and BTW thanks for sharing this with us, it was so fun to watch!

[@cuturrufo6372]

Hi dean , good luck 🍀 you will go and get a factory ride 💪💪👍

[@DELEONSKI2359]

Dean.. Forget the hype about which bike to ride and FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS on your TRAINING! Thats the key 🔑 !

[@MrMcBlond]

as much as i dont want to admit it, you looked so good on the honda, so pumped to see you back out there deano!

[@mattedwards_]

Saw your races these past two weeks! Killing it bro! Keep on that grind and keep working man! Get a win this season!

[@karlwooduk]

great mindset, stay head strong mate, everything will work out in the end, never give up and no regrets , rooting for ya and thanks for sharing the journey.

[@scroob72]

Good luck Deano!! Can't wait to see you on the track.

[@noidea1962]

You made ALL those bikes go fast!!! Crazy Fast!! Good Luck....from a new fan!

[@utdesertghost199]

I think you should build you a custom Yahokawvarna.. Bummer to see Husky cut you loose. I was soo stoked when they picked you up. I'm sure you'll be quick on whichever bike you choose. Best of luck with the season, stay healthy and stay fast. We're rootin for ya!! 🤘😎🤘

[@-lxlxlxl1427]

bad ass dude right here! good luck this season mate, excited to watch.

[@samnice5314]

Wow this is gonna be interesting coming from a pro factory rider to a privateer so excited to see u race!

[@aaandi5]

I‘m so hype! Wish you all the best Dean !

[@dr187mx]

Cool to see something like this from a pro.

[@koengixxer]

i think the husky is still the best choice,but with more seat time and fine tuning u will be great on every bike.. take the bike u feel the best husky,looks fast and agressif honda,looks smoothest and easy to ride yamaha,looks like the most work to ride hard (sound is amazing) kawasaki,looks like very soft handling in corners but has good power-range go for it deano! lots of succes in 2019!!

[@Spencer758]

I think the Honda is the only bike you haven't raced professionally if I recall - plus it sounds like you may have a good connection with your buddy from SLR. I think the Kawi may be a good choice though as you stated that you felt comfortable and that it fit you well - that may lead to less knee problems in the long run. Good luck Deano! It's cool to see someone from Scotland have so much success here in the USA!

[@timwoodring7346]

I'd love to see you back on kawi's bro!!! Just remember you did your best on a Mitch Payton kawi. Hopes are high you and I think you'll do good this year!

[@shawndoucette9797]

Good luck Dean. Hope to see you on a factory ride soon. You deserve it brother. Would love to see you on a Yamaha though. Best bikes for 2019.

[@connorknight5318]

Dude you look good on anything and you will be a awesome privateer can't wait to see you this season

[@markwells8798]

Great videos man keep it coming we love you!

[@chadsugden411]

Love the fact your putting this out there for everyone to see! Great info. Much better then some shootout mumbojumbo. And it’s great to see you can rip on anything! Looked good on everything except the yami looks like it was struggling to steer abit...

[@chadsugden411]

I’m sure with some set up you could dial that in too... but Honda and KX you looked pretty on point 👌🏼

[@21norseman]

I just watched your 1 Raw lap video. And I know it is a different track but you looked so much better on the Husky than the other bikes

[@anthonyferraro]

What an awesome video! Good luck in 2019! New fan

[@xarilaoskaradimos3480]

Hey deano... Choose the bike that helps you, to set it up fast during a race.soil by soil and track conditions.Also choose a bike that helps you stay out of mechanical troubles and injuries.At least,not a fun,,,but i thing yamaha is the easiest bike by all means for privateering.Is matter of time to get a factory ride.Just stay out of troubles

[@nolanmanley5359]

Don't matter what you ride as long as it's set up for YOU! You will be fast. I would have a long talk with Mitch if he's going to help you and see what bike he wants to develop for you. If he is committed you will have the machine you need to be competitive at the pro level and get the ride that will open up within the first 3 SX races of the season. Pulling for you to be there all year long.

[@Dewic21]

Kawi all the way!would like to see you achieve the success you deserve!!

[@damdaniel2617]

At the end of the day go with your gut! You know what you like. Best of luck.

[@jkeb2170]

What ever you go with just know, your the best deano

[@jboot151]

If Mitch is the backbone of your program... The kawi would probably be the best choice.

[@InsideTheCityRenoEdition]

Whatever fits you best! You will be faster on what you’ve rode. Love it. You’re my dude. Got you, always! Mad love.

[@Heysey45]

The YZ450F and KX450F you seemed to be most comfortable on by outside looking in Mate. No matter what choose what you feel is best for you.

[@69yourmamma]

Good luck this season Dean 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@alfiemx8415]

U look really comfy on the honda

[@JamesyMusial14]

Kawi put so much development into their new 450. I’d love to see Deano grab a Kawi with support from PC Did also look great on the Honda and obviously even better on the Husky as it was best set up for him but would be nice to see another change of brands to keep things exciting.

[@donpetryna4356]

Think you are limiting yourself by not trying the KTM and Suzuki... Give them a shot and then make up your mind. You are an awesome racer and ambassador of the sport, you will be great on any bike. Love the videos, like that you are allowing us to watch your story and journey. Looking forward to more videos and watching you kick ass in supper cross this year... never give up buddy.

[@widostoel3369]

You really must go for the new Kawa ! Asome bike. Good luck with your choice! Greetz from holland

[@masonbuist]

I pretty much just did exactly what you did testing all the bikes before buying one.. My final decision was a 2019 Ktm , was hands down the best for me and I tested Honda,Kawasaki,Husky , Yamaha and the Ktm

[@kylecohen4080]

Honda is the way to go!!!

[@abakkerud]

Keep on pushing! I’m in the same position, just different sport. One door closes another one opens🤘🏼

[@bluegull1541]

CLASS!!! Good luck in 19'

[@jarreddudejnrfmxvanvuuren7554]

Mad respect dude ⚡

[@egwilliams834]

Swamp, I’m Abigail Honda and a big Roczen fan. Would love to see you join them on Honda HRC and big red. But you were fastest on the Husky. So stick with it. Your time will come. Good luck and be safe

[@HighSidedFilms]

Good vid. Hope to see more.

[@bubu3453]

The kawi is the one!!!

[@gustavogabrielaorellana9100]

Whatever you feel more comfortable with my man. Keep it up

[@KincadePavich]

Rip the CRF or the Kawi. There's a couple ways you can approach the whole getting dropped scenario but I would argue anything but Husky. If you ride the Husky, you're still giving them the same brand exposure with none of the benefits. They'll be like "Great, Deano is helping us out and we don't even have to pay him." Whereas you start winning on another bike, there will be competition for you and Husky might want you back even more if a spot opens up or if Osborne can't perform on a 450. My personal bias says Honda - your lap time was .1 off the Kawi and you rode the Honda first. That's a dope bike and I think with everyone expecting Tomac to win riding green, I'd love for you to stir the pot there as well. Leave that Yamaha behind.. Weird front end, weird design, wide cockpit, I don't think that's the fastest bike and your lap time showed it. Just my 2 cents! Good luck man! I'd love to see you out winning with all you've been through.

[@michaeljkasnter]

The CRF is incredible!! Go HRC !!!

[@kmmkod]

Crack a deal with Mitch to lease one of his pc kawi's and run out of his semi?

[@ndrsvlog9697]

Imo there's two ways too look at this. Which bike are you the fastest on? Which bike can you battle the best with?

[@ryanlester761]

That Shift gear is on point!

[@brandonbarabas4631]

I think Dean that you looked best on the Kawasaki. You looked really comfortable with no time on it. When I seen you ride the Husqvarna I expected you to be good on it because that's what you drove the last 2 years

[@adamneal5590]

Good luck with the season whatever you choose...... 🇬🇧

[@riderrm2505]

Keep your head up you’ll get a ride your a good guy keep fighting!

[@jackkelly8399]

Deano should try a 250cc two smoker?

[@zPrideful]

Why so he can get lapped?

[@sciencemilitia1853]

@@zPrideful He would do well on a KTM 250 2 Stroke. Stank dawg did it on a 125, and his finishes were the same as when he was on a 250 4 stroke.

[@zPrideful]

@@sciencemilitia1853 you realise that guy barely ever made it into the main event plus his faster on a 125 than he is on a 250f. Also the difference between a 250 2 stroke and 450f is alot. He wouldn't so near as good as you think he would.

[@sciencemilitia1853]

@@zPrideful The 250 2 strokes at Glen Helen's 2 stroke national were running the same average lap times as the top 10 450 main event riders. And a 250 2 stroke can hang with 450Fs better than a 125 can hang with 250Fs.

[@sciencemilitia1853]

@@zPrideful BTW I race a 250 2 stroke against modern 450s. I race B class, and I top 5 all the time on a stock YZ250. Just even look at off road racing where the rules still allow fair displacement in racing. 2 strokes across the board. Know why? Lighter weight and more power is actually a good thing. Try it once ;)

[@rickstrom6097]

Thanks for sharing that is incredible you were that fast on the Kawey!

[@hunterbilliot3412]

Love you Dean keep your head up hope to see you on a Kawi or Honda, but I will be a fan of yours on whatever bike your on.

keep your head up Dean you're still badass.

It would be cool to see you back on a Kawi after all these years ! Especially with Mitch helping you aha But whatever you choose, good luck for '19 and smoke some factory assessss out there ! We know you can !

Good Video. Wish Big B's Moto Photos was out at Glen Helen. Take care.

[@chrisblazer4575]

Team green. You rocked it in 250 days.

[@gavinwilson8636]

you looked great on all of them and i think u looked the best in visual form and speed on the crf

[@Tony2x67]

You did look smoothest on the Honda but it also looked like you were riding a pit bike cause you’re so tall. Kawi worked out pretty well for ya in the 250 class maybe it’s got some good mojo. Not sure which is the easiest to wrench on but that might be something to consider too. Good luck kid. I think you should open up a fan sponsorship like a Patreon or something so we can give a little support. 🤘🏻

STAY STRONG BRO💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@Itz2eight9]

Be sweet to see you on a Honda. Either way I wish ya the best for the upcoming season!

[@tonypettit5558]

I wish the Honda you tried was the Ken Roczen addition since you where probably on the Husky factory addition just a thought ,look how good Malcom Steward has been doing on it , and yes Malcom has extra stuff on it but I think you would be able to get the same trix parts he has ,good luck what ever you ride on

[@timkuitems4431]

Be the grassroots guy. If you like "the fans" and you like talking to us this way, then go with that. There's potential that we will make a loud noise when you enter the stadiums. How cool would that be? You mention Mitch Payton. If you a based near him, and he's going to be good resource to keep the bike in top shape - engine rebuilds, etc, etc, then Pro Circuit gets some big pluses. The last thing you want is a bike that leaves you stranded with no high end race bike support. Weigh through the scenarios, and who you will go to to keep the bike(s) and parts in peak shape. All this is available if you pay the price. But it's about who will work hard for you too. If you need an engine tomorrow, who's going to make this happen? Who's going to be a true partner?

[@Maras30]

you looked the smoothest on the kawi. it wasn't kicking out or doing anything weird compared to the other bikes. the others looked a little more rigid, given they probably weren't set up for you.

[@52foreman52]

Looked good on them all. You seemed the most impressed with the Kawi. GH looked some rough and windy!

[@mikebrown41182]

When worked with Josh Hansen you were his teammate at PC, and i always thought you looked at home on the Kawi, with some Payton and maybe bacon can give you some imput you would be set to go. At the end of the day they are all good bikes but the most important thing, get out there and get some traction time. Best of luck // MBS.

[@kylehughes171]

What do you prefer as a pro sx mx racer? I know bikes are always changing and I can see differences from bike to rider and I prefer 2 strokes because you can't feather that clutch on a 4 stroke but I know it's all about it's all about the 4 strokes but I'd still love to know your prefered bike and company and that's what really breaks it down and I've asked my father and he's been at the beginning of motocross racing and he always loved the 73 CZ, suzuki steering and honda.

Made respect for you not taking advantage of a team when time's we're tuff

[@mikeraskin7319]

Your an awesome Rider and deserve to be on a factory team,. If I were to look into a bike I would consider Honda or Suzuki because I feel that you will have the most opportunity to get on one of those teams. it seems like Honda's got room and especially Suzuki with jgr. And Suzuki's work really good especially on Supercross.. I'm looking forward to seeing you out there this year.

[@zakcourt7419]

Kawasaki kx450 all day man, best bike for you in my mind👍👌

Yamaha or Honda.. you looked pretty good on them both. In my opinion whatever bike you’re most comfortable on should be the one you ride.

[@Kdiddz]

So pretty much, you're going to be on a KTM for the 2019 SX & MX Season! Congrats.

[@think2cre81]

I wish you the best . I think it would be smart to stick with the husky. You know it well now . And GOD forbid that that something does go bad for Osborn or Anderson, ouch I hate even saying that I'm huge fan of both . But it is supercross and you would surely be there first choice to step in . It makes good sense for you and them . You will do great on any bike you choose. Husky just makes more sense . Good luck young man .. stay safe

You will always be my favorite rider!! Team or not always with team dean-o

[@Espenrip]

@Dean Wilson...i wish you all the luck! Just remember...things happen for a reason...and it is ALL FOR A GOOD REASON. You are a great guy and i see a future champion in you! Actually you are a champion already. Stay positive. When deciding which bike to ride? Id say base your decision NOT on the bike, but based it on the people that is surrounding you and is most supportive morally, physically emotionally and especially on the technical side of it. Like for example, the great Cairoli was dumped by yamaha despite of his proven success. KTM took him, but Cairoli stayed with the same people, technical team and management. And he even blossomed more success. GOODLUCK TO YOU DEAN!

[@Tide12NC]

Barcia did it, you can as well. As far as a bike, I personally say the Honda. But it should be what bike fits you the best.
