It looks like the "r" has faded fast from the headlines. I hope that people will continue to remember what a dominant ATV it has been for 19 years.

I wonder what the lap times are for the Pro Production YFZ, TRX and LTZ vs. the Pro-Am or Vet classes that still have 265/310/330/350PV engined R's.

hard to make the 265cc engine rule compete with 440cc 4-strokes. On top of that factories are only sponsoring 4-strokes so it discourages pro riders to stick with the R

Be that as it may, I would still be interested in seeing the lap times.

It seems to be pretty close in bikes; 250cc vs. 450cc. Quads obviously can use the extra torque due to 2x the weight and 5x the traction.
