Ken Roczen FINALLY INK's 2023 DEAL!

After having a fallout of sorts with longtime team Honda HRC, Ken Roczen separated with them and has since had one of the craziest silly seasons ever. Testing on Firepower Honda, Club MX Yamaha, Pro Circuit Kawasaki, the all new Stark Varg and surprised everyone by even testing HEP Suzuki.

Well here comes an even bigger surprise, Ken Roczen signed a deal with HEP Suzuki for the 2023 AMA Supercross season. With Roczen’s long history and multiple championships won on Suzuki, it's certainly going to be interesting to see him have a homecoming season of sorts.

Manager of Suzuki Motor USA, Chris Wheeler said in the press release “We are pleased to have Ken back on a Suzuki and part of the RM Army, Ken’s experience, determination and incredible skill are everything we need to help Suzuki and H.E.P. Motorsports achieve the success we are all striving for in 2023.”

HEP Suzuki team manager Dustin Pipes said “Everyone is super excited to have Ken Roczen on board. Having Ken as part of our team is sure to elevate our performance and we can’t wait to go racing at A1 in January.”
Last and certainly not least Ken Roczen said “I am beyond excited to reconnect with Suzuki for the 3rd time in my career. We’ve had a lot of success in the past and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish together in our future. I have a lot of confidence in Suzuki and the H.E.P. Motorsports program and I am excited to finally get the new year going with a fresh start. From the moment I got on the bike I felt right at home. It has been a welcome surprise how quickly I’ve adapted to the bike and the team. We will be ready to go racing come January 7th.”
This might have been the missing link that Suzuki needs now as they are looked at as kind of a dying bike brand and team in the sport. Im super excited to see a top rider come back to Suzuki, I think this is the change Roczen need as well after years on the same team.
This is probably the craziest announcements in recent moto history, what are your guys thoughts on this move? Is this the revitalization that Kenny needed for his career? Or is this the nail in the coffin? Let us know what you think in the comments!

It's not the bike a riders on that makes him win. It's the state of mind he's in when on that bike that makes him win. If this is where he wants to be, he will do well.

Think its Great for the beloved Suzuki and a good move by Roxanne

[MichaelHayward-ymht]

Great news for Ken and Suzuki the RMZ 450 is a awsome bike and Ken knows it too

[jaysen]

I think it's AWESOME! I'm happy Suzuki finally got a top rider and it'll keep the brand alive which the sport needs

[xxTyphoid]

It'll be cute to see a suzuki back on top of the box

[gricasmoto]

Seems like this is what both sides need. Good for roczen and good for suzuki

[robdalbey]

Nobody that rides a suzuki is surprised...it's the people that don't...

[daniMSc]

He will kill it any way. Is not that, it is a Suzuki, it is that, it is KR and he has got the skills to make it happend. Love his choice! He has always been very successful on a yellow bike. So, lets be it again!!

[fugginrambo]

Suzuki needs to win the Championship and come out with an improved bike but still keep the cost down

[markallen]

Carmichael won a Championship on one but Ricky could win a Championship on any brand.Surprised Yamaha didn't try an sign him, they could have won a Championship years ago.It'll be interesting to see if Ken can win again for Suzuki?

[Steezy_Mx]

I’m so stoked and a big Zuki fan. Hope this turns into something where they revamp all the bikes with new fast riders.

[troymatenaer]

Ken is helping Suzuki more than Suzuki is helping Ken. Going to be fun to see a yellow bike up in the front again through

[mfmonthefmf]

didnt know he tried the Stark Varg, why? Is it legal to race an E-bike in SX?

[christopherhenry]

I have always quietly sought glory through some so-called Underdog. Now that Roczen is on 'Old Yeller', I no longer have to daydream about a mongrel rising towards front of the pack. I imagine previous sponsors'll watch and listen to a ring of cheer escalating throughout some Arena for an upset to remember.
But that's just me..😎

[moodyshooty]

I wanna have faith but the worst bike on the gate? Homie had excuses with HRC Factory Honda…I dunno. He’s fast but is he fast on a Suzuki still?

[jamintoday]

Ryan Dungey just signed with Suzuki again. A big home coming!

[markogorman]

He will win races…. But not the Championship

[SOLDOZER]

Suzuki is where careers go to die. This will be Ken's last season.
