Default DRAg RACE RM 125 vs 1985 tecate atc

i just bought an 1994 slightly modded rm 125 i heard it did around high 70 mph. but my friend got this 1985 tecate atc 250. i heard that those 250 2 stroke liqued cooled 3 wheelers where faster than hell but i was wondering how well my rm 125 would do against this machine in a drag race?

86/87 Tecate 250............................................... ..............85mph
86 ATC 250R.............................................. .......................83mph
85 ATC 250R.............................................. .......................80mph
84/85 Tecate............................................ ........................78mph
86 TRI Z 250............................................... ......................76mph
83/84 ATC 250R.............................................. ..................74mph

Some of the trike top speeds.

I bet your REAL close to the same but you will get there quicker! Those are nice mods, if he is running all stock I think youll take it! If he has a pipe; It will be interesting! when you race them, post your outcome!

theres a nice little cult following for 3 wheelers out there you can get almost any edition of dirt wheels scanned in from back in the days.

with the exception of the banshee as its always been around, I think its funnt that 4 wheelers are just now getting as fast as they were in the 80's before all the law suits occured. zilla-80's tecate 3 80's 250r 3 wheeler 80's.

also those numbers arn;t un realistic at all take a 250r 4 wheeler whihc is fast do the performance mods even faster and now take 70-80 pounds of frame and a arms off it. Take that kind of weight off any bike and it will be faster.
