Chad Reed two stroke question?

[ktm150rippa]

Met Chad Reed tonight at DFW Honda the whole geico team was up there along with Canard and Reed and threw out a question to Reed for us 2 stroke guys and the answer kinda sucked. "Hey Chad how do you feel about two strokes?" he said, "well they're so fun to ride but I leave em' in the past too much work they four strokes now days are so good I love them" I was disappointed not to mention his demeanor was a little cocky for my liking. Oh well I told him I love them and that I ride the new 150sx he just kinda nodded. Canard was an awesome dude I requested a headwhip over the finish line if he wins, he said deff will do it lol.

Bummer... But I hope Canard wins now!

Reed is a tool. I have never been a fan of his.

Yea i never liked his attitude. It might well be his honest opinion...
But perhaps Honda pays him to say that, coz they don't manufacture 2 strokes anymore.

Man, Reed has $20,000 Honda transmissions in his new rides, he was faster on a 2 stroke, he is a douche, and never really had half the talent as Villipoto.
IMO he can suck it.

Well, Canard won, did he pull out the head whip?? I really hope he did. I dont get to see the replay on tele until Friday night.

[ACMX]

I hope he did it

no  . He gooned a little bit in practice and the parade lap. Man the racing was soo awesome last night! Only thing I could have wished for was the smell of 2 strokes and the sound of 125's on the pipe!

You can't really blame Chad for saying that about 2stroke bikes. it's a reality, the modern 4 stroke 450's are faster and when you're a pro racer and it's you're job to win races then you gotta be on one.
 As for being bit cocky, i think being 2 time champ you could be a little cocky.

Not really surprised with his answer. Reed gets paid by winning and at the moment the best way to do that is on a 4 stroke. Maybe when/if direct injection comes in the two stroke may have a chance but the way it is now the 4 stroke is the easiest bike to go fast on. He said they were fun but not as easy to go fast on

Do you really think he'd  give props to a machine his sponsor doesn't even make.  He did his job.  That's what they pay him for.

I don't think he's a tool because of what he said. I think he's a tool because...well he acts like a tool  . I have never been a fan of his.

I've thought that in the past, but this year he has mellowed out a bit.  I guess that's what happens when you've burned so many bridges you gotta fund your own effort.  Now, I actually like the guy.  Hope he doesn't revert back to the old excuse maker he used to be.

He, as with Stewart, McGrath & the rest of the posers, lost all my respect when they signed supercross only deals.  He gained a bit back when he came back outdoors a couple years ago.  But not much.  I think they should have a grand national championship.  Indoors & outdoors combined.  What say you?

Chad is going to win this championship. Everybody laughed when he didnt get a SX ride and here we are 12 rounds in and hes 8 points out of the lead. If Stewart didnt wiskey throttle into him last weekend he would probably still be the points leader. Chad is the man

And he was one bad dude on a YZ 250
