I was looking for something a bit more specific, but your right, in a very broad sense. Where I was going with my question was I bet it will be a buyers market on riders, with the economy, sponsor $$ are probably going to be tight.

I only rode for free when I was a board member at OMC and that was non pro classes without payback. The work was long and hard and I should have just paid for the racing and would have not been so beat up after a day racing.

Well here is what Reed makes..
After being crowned world Supercross champion for a second time in the US last month, the $7.8 million Reed earned last year (which placed him No.6 on the BRW list of Australia's richest sports stars), and new sponsors and returns from his company, will take him close to Norman's estimated $20 million earnings.

This is my guess, this is for a 4th place to top ten guy, like an Andrew Short.
Bike/ Team: $250,000
Energy Drink: $100,000
Gear: $80,000
Boots: $50,000
Goggles: 40,000$
Helmet: $50,000
Approx $600,000.00 (this isn't including bonuses)

I don't think quite that much, but I could be wrong.

the top ten guys were making that much over ten years ago, Chad reed got 1.5 million from his helmet sponsor alone . I am sure andrew short gets more than 50 thousand.....Alot of the guys who are midpack get between 30 and 100 thousand for gear alone... Any rider on a factory team these days is getting at least 500 thousand minimum. More like a 2 year 1.5 million dollor deal.........I know ktm payed josh hansen over a million and he was a lites rider who won a few races and no title lol...its crazy but if they can get it more power to um ...they earn it more than a baseball player who gets 15 million and has a 237 batting average
they make millions bro
