CHAD REED’S 2018 JGR BIKE • Chad left Yamaha for Suzuki in 2018, under the JGR banner.

MOSS’ METAL • We get the chance to throw a leg over Matt Moss’ 2015 factory RMZ450. That year would not go well for Matt, who was to hit that bobcat not long after this test. But nobody can deny his charge on the Suzuki team was one of the great periods for any single rider.
