90 percent of all riders would say ricky carmichael http://www.rickycarmichael.com/
Travis Pastrana i think is the best dirt bike rider he was the youngest rider ever to compete and win the motocross de nations (pretty much Olympics of MX) he was also the youngest rider to win a freestyle MX contest and won 5 or 6 contests running
The best dirt bike is the one that suits your needs as a rider. What one rider loves about a bike the next rider may not be impressed with, not to mention often times a riders loyalty to a certain manufacturer based on their favorite rider. With that said, here is the scorecard on the 2009 250 motocross shootout: http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/11/1866/Motorcycle-Article/2009-250F-Motocross-Shootout-Score-Card.aspx And here are the 2008 450 shootout scores: http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/11/323/Motorcycle-Article/2008-450-Motocross-Shootout-Scorecard.aspx
Only the best can pull down this type of earnings. Most make far less than this.
In the US it would be either Stewart or Reed. Stewart is faster but crashes a lot whereas Reed is much more consistent.
It is Ricky C he is 10 for10 in motocross, has had 2 perfect seasons, has 5 championships in supercross. Since RC has retired the best active rider would come down to James Stewart or Chad Reed.
Kawasaki
If you have the $ yes
James Stewart.
My personal opinion is Travis Pastrana
