Reed to debut his CRF450 in Australian SX series riding for "Vodofone". Then should be in the US on his CRF450 under team H&H.

Reed stated that he is only doing ONE round of the Super X series (this weekend) and that if he doesn't get a factory ride within the next "few" weeks, that he will not be doing the SX series, and making his switch to racing "rally" / "super" cars, thus ending his motorcycle career. Reed would stay with Vodofone for his "four-wheel option".
So looks like Reed is not going to be doing SX series this year...

Still no word on Pourcel? I see Stroupe is riding for Valli next year. That team should be solid.

Still no word on Pourcel? I see Stroupe is riding for Valli next year. That team should be solid. Word is that KTM is willing to dish out the $4 Million dollars for Pourcel's two year contract. KTM really wants to win a championship in the U.S since it has never been done, hence the hiring of Roger DeCoster, (Stefan Everts has been working for them) , and a very strong rider that goes by the name of Andrew Short. Red Bull also pulled thier sponsorship from Honda to sponsor KTM, which adds some extra money to the senerio. So it is my opinion that Pourcel will be on a KTM with the option to ride a 450 or 350F like Short's deal. Some people seem to think that Pourcel will be going to Kawasaki, but everything I have heard is that Jake Weimer will be on a KX450F. Just my two cents... ;D

I know Reed was saying he was hoping to hear something about a ride this week here in the USA. I have not seen any press release yet. Alot of rumors going on still with the Hart and Huntington team. Also the some rumors about the Yamaha squad. Who knows?
The amatuer prodigy Justin Bogle is changing colors for his pro season. Gieco Honda picked him up, he will be doing the Eli Tomac type contract. Ride Gieco Honda amatuer nationals until the MX Nationals begin in 2011. I know this guy has a sick style.

Sweet, Yeah... still lots of rumors about the Hart and Huntington Team. I DO know that if we see Reed, he will be on a Honda... With all of the comments he has made about "feeling like he can win" on the Honda, and going out and buying a Honda, I am pretty sure he will be on a Honda... why waiste time training on a bike you are not going to race? I also know that Townly did not resign with Troy Lee designs... they were not willing to cough up the bucks he was demanding. Ping stated that he didn't have a strong season, and with the economy the way it is... that there was no way any team was going to pay him what he wanted... so Townley went back across seas... So that leaves Troy Lee Designs looking for someone to fill their Honda 450 ride, and Hart and Huntington looking for someone to fill a Honda 450 ride, and we still don't know if Factory Honda is going to hire another 450 rider... It is Confirmed that Weimer is signed with monster energey Kawasaki as RV's teamate. Also, I'm pretty darn Sure that Pourcel will be on an Orange bike this year

Reed posted that he was Testing at the Yamaha track this past week.
In short, he is trying to find a bike and team that suits him the best. If he does not find one, then he will sit out of SX, and just focus on the Nationals.
There is talk of him starting up his own satalite team. So time will tell!
I am still interested to see if what I have been hearing about Pourcel going to KTM is true or not! ;D

I read something about Reed going to Troy Lee Racing Honda/RedBull team today. But have not seen a press release or anything yet.

I read something about Reed going to Troy Lee Racing Honda/RedBull team today. But have not seen a press release or anything yet. Yeah, RacerX posted a picture of the number 22 on a TLD Honda... I think it's official. Reed really likes the Honda, I mean I wouldn't think you would buy a Honda, practice and prep on a Honda, if you didn't plan on Racing a Honda. And Yamaha has all of their satalite teams full, and there were potentially 3 Honda rides out there... I think Reed is better for their team than Townley...

So it looks like it is pretty much a done deal that Reed will be with TLD Honda ;D
