Chad Reed on the new Kawasaki ride for 2010.

Chad Reed moved to the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team in 2008 and promptly won the 2008 Supercross and 2009 Motocross Championship titles. He now joins the Monster Energy Kawasaki team for 2010.

Chad Reed probably has more frequent flyer miles than any other racer on the circuit. Speedy Reedy has recently joined with Mike Porra to develop a new national Supercross series in his native country of Australia called Super-X – Australasian Supercross Championship. Not only is he involved on the managerial and promotional levels, but he competes as well, which means the former World GP and three-time AMA Supercross and SX Lites champion has quite the travel schedule. Most riders complain about having to cross the U.S. during the season, but Reed crosses two continents and entire oceans!

Born in Newcastle, Reed picked up two Australian National titles before heading to Europe to race the GPs, from there it was onto the States to take on the AMA. He pulled off an East Coast SX Lites title in his first attempt and turned it into a Supercross championship in 2004. In 2008, it was another proving time for Reedy as he delivered another title for Yamaha with the L&M Racing squad. Since coming to America, Reed has never finished a full season outside the top-10, and only twice outside the top-5.

In 2009, Reed raced in two different disciplines in America with impressive results - a Motocross championship title and he took second overall in Supercross. He also is defending his title in the Australasian Supercross Championship which he started back home in Australia on his new Monster Energy Kawasaki ride.

Reed will continue to see green as he returns to the States and ride both AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross on the Kawasaki KX450F.

The coming season will be a challenge for Reed as he tries to race at the highest level in both America and Australia.

James is the best your good too tho.

Dustin Gilger - No. 1 May 13, 2009 04:28 PM
Chad Reed you are the best racer on the face of the earth, period. You are awesome and you are my hero. You have a million miles of heart, something James doesn't understand. Sure maybe James can get around you sometimes but you usially get him right back. And if you dont, you ride his ass the whole way to the line. I have never seen you give up or back down ever, something I do, and always will greatly admire. I was at Indy this year and when you won I think i flew as far above my seat as you did over the tripples, and I think I was as loud as your big 450 lol. And when you said you thought about moveing to Indi because we were so loud, chills shot up my spine. That is awesome, you are awesome, and our sport is awesome. Also I cant belive James and Kyle at Salt Lake city, that is stupid. Thank you man for being Chad Reed.

Tanner I. - dirt bike racer May 11, 2009 04:52 AM
Chad Reed is one of my favorite riders of all time. When he was racing on his Yamaha he was a little sucky but now that he is on that sweet suzuki he has been a hell of a more better ride. I have been racing since i was 5 yrs. old and now i'm 11 yrs. old and wish to continue with it. CHAD IS THE BEST, WELL, FOR ALL I KNOW.

ingerslev - i love chad reed May 6, 2009 11:30 PM

Hello. I am an avid Chad Reed fan, I also race motocross but I am of course a girl. I am trying everthing I can to get to the top of my level. I race a YZ125 and ride a YZ250F at home on the off days. I would just like to say that Chad Reed has been a great inspiration to me.
