I don't stand a chance against the spider bike[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] even if you only gotit to 350 that would be 6 pounds per hp. At 300 its 5.1 pounds[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] mine at 470 with 55 hp is 8.5 pounds per pony. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Mathematically I don't stand a chance unless you weigh 400 pounds- can I buy you a pizza and a malt please[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Thats the exact calculations that I used before making a decision on what route I was going to go on mine....whenever I seen some 230lb 54hp YFZ's blowing the doors off of 70-100hp bikes...I knew they had done their homework...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Its going to be interesting to say the least.

Oh yeah, Im just a little shy of 400lbs...and yeah, I will also take you up on the malt and pizza..thank you. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Now you know that I dont stand a chance against an automatic, superlightweight, 85hp race gas breathing beast like yours....I think I will take ya up on that offer though...maybe you will atleast let me ride it to see what its like to ride a "fast" bike, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Yep, yep...I agree with choosetolose04
.
I was just reading through all the comments about racing and speed and weight.

I not a big drag race guy.
but
If I can take on any Dune easily on my DS the next best thing is looking good while your duning it (with matching safey gear Of cours !).

Speed costs lots of money ... which is in short supply now what with gas bing like 3 buks per gal.

But I love the fact you guys do so much testing with Hi Perf parts .. makes my future upgrades cheaper and easier with all the bugs worked out.

Thanks

The website doesn't mention a lockout clutch???

I need a lightened magneto. I have a lightened flywheel and flywheel hub, but crank still twists off.
