LOL. you're all over the place. I don't know about you. KDX220 to YZ450F....BIG difference...way more power. and then KDX220 to CRF230....LOL...way less power and a lot smaller. Are you making all this up as you go along???

HUH?? what the hell does that mean??
This is why I wonder about you. A KDX220 is a higher class of bike than a CRF230. The KDX is taller and faster and is more comparable to a bigger XR, DR, WR or CR250X. Like I said, you're all over the place. You're makin no sense....unless the KDX is too much for you and that's why you're downgrading.

He's got me confused too![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] A 230 is a beginers bike, or maybe good to put around the pits or something.

Quite simply, power to weight:

Recent CR250+ pipe = 210 lbs /50+ hp = 4.2 lbs/hp

Typical fat *** quad = 400+ lbs/45 hp = 8.9 lbs

ANY MORE QUESTIONS??!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

To be honest, since getting into 2-stroke MXers, most quads seem pretty boring to me unless I have a great place to ride them in to take advantage of their strenths (i.e. sand and mud, wide sweeping turns). Take a ride on a 250 2-stroke MXer and you see just how lazy those big cc 4-stroke, overweight quads are. They may eventually reach a high top speed, but the MXer in front of them will get there way sooner. Now get a 2-stroke screamer like the Banshee or LT500, and you could mod your way in the stratosphere, but with 4-strokes you will probably be eating dust.

Then "most people" you talk to are dead wrong. It's sad how clueless and unknowledgeable younger riders today are. I weep for the future.

I see a lot of wheel spin in that scenario. Get on hard pack or pavement and you won't win. There's usually a logical explanation when a quad gets a fluke win against a bike. Heavy wheel spin combined with a super short drag strip to keep the bike from making up ground is one scenario. A moron on the bike is another.
well i guess thats the difference i wasnt on hard pack....but guess what....I won so it looks like a quad can beat a bike. Did it say anything about the terrain and the race was a little less then a quarter mile. and the kid on the bike knows how to ride. Deal with it your wrong!!

I'm not wrong. The terrain handicapped the bike. So if you read my post correctly, I was right.
