Weight to CC ratio
Ok, i know on a car if you lose a 100lbs you will gain .10 off your 1/4 time so let me ask this...
How much does 10lbs effect a atv.....?
In other words if you have a 300lbs man on a honda 450r 450cc...
And a 150lbs man on a honda 400ex 397cc....
Does it become a drivers race?

Personally I think its always a drivers race, but you bring up a very good question. Same applies to larger quads (utility) that have more horsepower and alot more weight. I know that more weight in mud makes a "ton" of difference. Comparing an XP to a Griz 700 would be a nice comparison since the XP is near or above 800 pounds and the Griz is 600. I know the XP has a bunch of hp, but is it enough to overcome the additional weight?
