Irvine, Calif., (April 24, 2012) -- Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto will not defend his AMA Motocross title in 2012 after injuring his knee at the Seattle supercross on Saturday night. The two-time AMA Supercross and defending AMA Motocross champion will undergo surgery on his knee this week.

“I’m pretty disappointed right now,” said Villopoto. “I have trained hard for this season and even though I won the supercross title, I really wanted to defend my outdoor championship. I’ve been through injury before and I know how hard I have to work to get back.”
 
Villopoto is coming off of a dominant 16 months where the Poulsbo, Wash. native earned two AMA Supercross titles on the strength of 15 wins, the AMA Motocross Championship with three wins and also the richest payday in supercross with a million dollar win at the Monster Energy Cup.

2012 KX450

By Jeff Morgan and Brad Coles

Much like its little brother, the KX450F has had its share of trips to the winner’s circle, most recently as Ryan Villopoto piloted it to AMA Motocross and Supercross championships in 2011. Kawasaki has won a ton of titles over the years, and when teams start with a package like this, it is little wonder why.

The KX450F is chock-full of new technology and new ideas that are bred on the racetrack. Part of the advantage of being a factory racer is the level of adjustability that can be incorporated onto your bike. Race teams spend thousands of dollars fitting their bikes to individual riders, but to the average person that level of customization is just not attainable. Until now.
