<bold>I have been challenged to a race. I own a 2001 Rancher 350 4x4 ES, I weigh 110 and I can handle my quad pretty good, if not better. My challenger owns an older (early 90's?) Bayu 220cc 2x4. He weigh's about.. I would say... 140. The race will be on gravel alongside train tracks. There will be an audience so I was just checking to see what everybody thought, I feel pretty confident, but a little re-assurance will allways help. Thanks,

I read the Bayu's top speed is 42. My rancher can hit 53 easily, but I think he will beat me on the start...

Actually I think I would beat him in the take-off.. Ranchers have pretty good acceleration.. Like an Audi Quatro lol.

Show him just how good a machine you have.. Since it seems to be identical to mine. Good luck (you don't need this) and be safe.

The Rancher, discounting any freak accidents, should have no problem taking the 220. I don't have first hand experience, but I know with my big ***(265#), I can outrun a Bayou with a light rider on it no problem, and I think Ranchers and Big Bears run around the same, speed wise.

naturally you should win unless your race course
has a few parts that requests large anatomies(*****) to get your 1st class trophy.
