if it has a pipe and you dont have anything u just might lose. But then again u might lose any way... 85s are pretty fast since they are two smokes....

The 400ex and a 85 is a close match.

The CR85 will probably take your 400 without to much trouble.

A 400EX should hand a CR85 its *** no problem. My friend has a fresh 80 and against my warrior it was like not even a race he was so far behind. My otherfriends Articcat 400 utility was about even with it just a little faster. I really dont get how people think 80s are so fast.

Ok I got a question, what is a guy 5'10 doing on an 85? Why is he not on an equal size bike? Just curios.

Sorry, but an 80 will pull away from your Warrior without much troube.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

You obviously don't know much about power to weight ratio's do you?

I'm 6'3 at 200lbs and I ride that little green bike in my bio page.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] My buddy is almost the same size and has a RM85 to play on.

I don't know aobut this guy, but we use smaller bike as play bikes, or they're normally called pit bikes. When we are just riding around here close to home, they are a blast to ride and bang bars.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

my step bro went from a rap 660 to a yz85. His fat azz probably weighed more than the bike and he thought he was all cool with his stock 85. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

umm did you race him? You obviously dont know much about power bands and torque...both of which the 80 lacks making it a lot slower then its power to weight ratios would say. Go out and race an 80 then youl find out how sad they are. Just because they a good power to weight ratio doesnt make up for the fact that they make peak power for about 10rpm lol and have no torque whatsoever.
