Ken Roczen had a gnarly foot after crashing in moto one at the FIM World Supercross (WSX) event in Abu Dhabi. He finished 14th in the moto, came in 3rd in moto 2, and won the final moto with the injured foot!

EPIC BATTLE AT THE FINAL HARD ENDURO BETWEEN LETTI AND BOLT

We convinced Bob Hannah to ride our production YZ250 for the cover of the May 1982 issue. Bob was testing in the California desert, gave us about a half hour on the brand new machine and called it a total pile. He hated the radiator feel up high, the weight of the machine and the total lack of manners. Thank heavens he was in a good mood!

KOVE: ALL-NEW 250 MOTOCROSS BIKE ANNOUNCED

KoveMoto U.S.A. has just announced the release of their latest motocross bike for 2024. The Kove MX250 is a fuel-injected 250 four-stroke with a DOHC engine. While the frame and chassis are manufactured in Asia, they were designed in the U.S. The bike weighs 237 pounds without fuel and has a peak horsepower output of 37.5 hp. These numbers are comparable to those of the Suzuki RM-Z250. The target price for the Kove MX250 is $6000, and the first models are expected to arrive before the end of the year.

Kove has gained international attention for their participation in the Dakar Rally, and they successfully finished the race last January. The first models of the 450 Rally and 450 Rally Pro have already made their way to the U.S. market, with prices set at $8999 and $13,999 respectively. For more information, visit their website at kovemotousa.com.
