[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] I was at our local ridding spot the other day, and i weigh 125lbs on my honda 250x and i beat a guy on a 2 stroke blaster i belive and beat him barley, but then i raced a 250 mojave with a 85 lb friend on it and he edged me out. Im assuming my 250x can out run it, but did he edge me out b/c he weigh so less?

Weight does matter regardless of engine size. Less weight means more power to move the machine without having to waste power just to move.

Just remember,also,the Mojave is a dual over head cam liquid cooled motor,it is a very quick revving motor, I'm sure that had a lot to do with it.
