Default Do you high HP duners ever ride on pavement or dirt??

Just wonderin of you 60+ hp duners ever run your bike on the pavement or dirt? I was watching my Sweer FSW preview, and I realized that the Blue Legend (coolest quad ever) runs the hill in 7-8 seconds, and hits approx 75-78 up it, so I was thinking how fast it would be on pavement. I guess the hardest part would be getting traction. But can u imagine that? I sure cant....

i had a tecate 4 with over 60hp and would trial ride and ride on asphualt, it was hard to hook up on dirt (i was using spidertracks) and it wasnt the best thing for tight spaces. i could always catch the guy in front of me no matter how fast he was going. it pulled like a bat out of hell on asphault when i could get it to hook up. to much gas and it would just light up the tires.

my sand times have always been higher than my paved times. with paddles on a fourwheeler you hook up in the sand better than you do on pavement with slicks. and iv'e only seen a couple fourwheelers that smoke the tires trying to take off. because if it isn't extended then it will just wheely.if it's extended and doesn't have any other choice than it will spin..and i know you can powerstall on anything and when you let out on the brake you can usually keep spinning the tires..sorry it just seems hard to believe that a 60hp machine will light the tires up on pavement if it's not extended and coming out of a powerstall..my 90hp shee will spin but it won't spin much..my 100+hp shee will light the tires up when it leans back on the wheely bar...i'm just sayin it's not really hard to get traction on pavement.

JDIB, what are your 90 and 100+ horse banshee's?

250sx some guys in michigan are serious into pavement drags. They run some really fast times with their small motors. They are now building a big stroker and a turbo to put on the pavement. They hook their bikes up hard on the pavement. They run bars, but they are still damn fast.

when i would sit and spin on pavement i had a 46 tooth rear sprocket. i held the front brakes, pulled in the clutch to rev alittle and then gas it and it would move alittle until the rear tires broke free, but then it would just sit still and spin.

its not bs but take it how ever you want to.

BeechMan, my 90hp banshee was built by Jeff Wendorff and my old 100+hp banshee is no longer with me it was a 370LRST built by dynoedge running on alky i haven't had it for several years though..i was tryin to get hold of you on doin some motor work but i laid a 1943cc cbr over at 100mph so iv'e been hurting too much to get on here.
