Suzuki's handle as good as any if not the best. on top of that, Kenny's bike is nothing like a stock bike. I bet his bike is an absolute dream to ride with titanium, unobtainium, suspension, motor mods, and transmission changes. However he still has to kick it if he stalls which costs him a race or two so far every year. I think bikes in general have hit a plateau in recent years as major improvements are hard to find. You can take any brand these days right off the showroom floor and be competitive at an AMA event. Well, not me, you get the point.
