Does anyone else besides me think that if Honda was smart, they would go ahead and give this guy a factory ride? He's doing awesome this year and I really think Farr's going to have a hard time surpassing him unless something drastic happens. In all Hondas race reviews, they claim Natalie to be a red-rider, but he is not sponsored to my knowledge. It would be a wise decision though, I think.....

Yeah they should definetly give him a factory ride.If they do,farr and natalie will give suzuki's jones and gust a run for there money.Which they are anyways.I believe Natalie and farr are running 1 and 2 so far this year.Natalie has been on a roll since the end of last year and when he's on,there's no one to give him a battle really.But my man is Farr and i hoping he'll pass him up.

I thought he was factory backed as of a few weeks ago, I could be wrong. I think he will be winning for a long time. Im sure Honda is happy being 1 and 2, after only getting one win last year. They have won em all this year but one.

As of today, he isn't listed on their racing website as a factory red-rider. Maybe it just hasn't been updated yet, but Honda is usually pretty good at keeping information up to date.

They couldn't coincide with Honda similar to what Kevin Windham has going with Amsoil/Chapparal and Honda?

I'm sure Natalie will work out some kind of deal with East Coast ATV and Honda, much like Farr did with Baldwin Motorsports. They build the bikes, Honda simply gives him quads, a parts allowance and a fat paycheck. As far as Natalie and Honda, chalk that up to the rumor mill. But I think we'll see something.

Not to jump sports, but along the same lines...

Ivan Tedesco's house was on MTV cribs today. It was modest, but sweet! He has his championship winning bike on a stand in his pool table room. They should do Doug Gust's house.

Does anyone know if he's gotten a factory Red Ride yet after clinching the championship? He's not listed on their website as a Team Honda rider.

I remember reading in either Dirt Wheels or atvscene.com (in the last 2 months?) that he is now factory backed. Honda would be crazy not to. IMO

I just don't understand why they haven't placed him next to Tim Farr in the Off-Road section of their racing website yet.
