KEN ROCZEN 2010 SUZUKI RM-Z 250 AFTER MISSING THE FIRST FOUR ROUNDS OF THE SEASON DUE TO HIS AGE, KEN ROCZEN BURST ON TO THE WORLD MOTOCROSS SCENE AT THE PORTUGUESE GRAND PRIX IN 2009, JUST TEN DAYS AFTER HIS FIFTEENTH BIRTHDAY, AND WITH A 9TH AND 4TH THE NUMBER ‘94’ CAME AWAY WITH 7TH OVERALL. DURING THE SEASON HE TOOK A COUPLE OF RACE WINS AND WON HIS FIRST GP AT HIS FIFTH ATTEMPT AT HOME IN GERMANY, WITH 2-2 RESULTS.
He ended the season 5th overall but followed that up with 2nd overall in 2010. If there was one bike that could or should have won a world title then Kenny’s 2010 Suzuki RM-Z 250 was it, and it’s this
70
bike that we will feature in this issue of MXGP Magazine.
When Ken Roczen won his first grand prix at 15 years and 53 days, he became the youngest ever winner in motocross world championship history, and we knew then that this kid was destined for greatness. His debut season in 2009 saw him take two race wins, seven 2nd places and one 3rd, along with four podiums (1x1st – 2x2nd – 1x3rd), but it’s how you move on from there which determines your resolve.
