That it would!!

If you really want to get technical about it, do the Hp & torque numbers, gear ratios to tires, traction, ect. Put them in a sliding scale and then see who is "supposed" to win. Me....I will just go ride and race someone if i want to and if I win I will smile and move on. But I am slow and fat so I dont smile much [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Your right about that!! All the rocket scientist in the world cant account for every variable in drag racing. Lets go racing!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Here we go again[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

Now thats funny I dont care who ya are

 

I know the feeling.. my bike is heavier than a stocker, and I'm 280lbs.. after all the work on my bike I had to port it before it would start to pull away from a stocker with a normal sized rider on it. Feels good when you start to see your making up for all the weight.

I know wieght is a factor because I've tested it dozens of times... race someone on another V... switch bikes and race again. I would get beat both times, on my bike and on theirs... the riders were in general 80 to 100 pounds lighter.

 

Boat here are the corrected #'s with a 175lb pilot.

Boat
What does all this mean? Nothing, racing on the track, the hill is where you win or lose. Key board racing
doesn't count for anything.

 

Joe, Nice write up !!!

 

depends on the race, with lighter weight comes compromised durability, the DS is built to last an extremely long time on the stock piston and win endurance races, which is why you will never in your life see a YFZ or a TRX in the Paris to Dakar rally, much less win it every year, your power to weight figures don't mean **** there. not to mention comfort, the new 450's are the most uncomfortable quads ever built, this is not a slam just facts, the DS is made for comfort and range.

Bottom line is all the quads have their own perfect place and comparing them is futile, waste of time, and useless nonsense.

 

Well that was fun! Now lets ALL! go to the big hill (sand Mt, Nv) some time this next summer and find out who is who in the zoo. Come up with dates..................Race-On.............

 

The 20mill hill shee is being built for the first big weekend next year at Sand Mt. We will be testing a new frame so the power will be there and hap will be able to tell us if the frame makes it LOL

The DS will be in the in the oem frame like it is now but with the 850 power plant so *** GET YOU SUM!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
