I got an R with an LRD power valve on it and I've never been beaten by a big, heavy, doofy, 4 stroke. I eat heavily modified raptors and DS650s for an after dinner snack and the new kawi 700 man I'm just waiting for one to show up so can I take it in a race. Also the fact that you big bad four stroke owners think its so great when your machines slides by a 250r thats half or even a third of the displacment of your quad is sad. Four strokes have an absolutely horrible power to wieght ratio and that is why a 250r or any 2 stroke for that matter will murder a 4 stroke that has over 3 time the displacment. 2 strokers are lighter, quicker, all round much better that a four stroke.
Bull Sh*T!!!

You say you have a R that eats heavily modified raptors,ds650's and the New Kawai 700. Then you You are

waiting for one to show up so you can race it. I love the 2 strokes and the Banshee has to be my favorite but get real! This is why all the Sprt street bikes are 2strokes..oh no..they are 4 strokes. Are you mixing some of that wacky tabaky in your tank?

You also said that 4stokes had Horrible power to weight ratio. then again we divert back to say...The GSXR1000...4 stroke 150hp in a 400lb bike? Yes in the quads we don't get this big motor with all this power to put into a little frame.

I will tell you what though...If you ever and I meen EVER want to take a trip down south I will be more than glad to spank that r of yours on a MX track or through a GNCC trail or we can roll down to the local dragstrip and I will do it there. You realy should not group so many ATV's together and make a blanket statement like that.


All talk

The reason sprt street bikes are 4 stroke is because 2strokes will be banned in about 3 years or so, not because they are faster. any heavily modded r is a good fast quad.

2-strokes are going to be banned because of air polution. the oil being burnt in the motor is making alot of polution in the air.

I agree with that.... I have an 89 250r that I want to sell. I sold my Zilla last year and the Banshee but for someone to group the 4 stroke guys like that and make a blanket statement is just plain dumb...

While we are on the subject of street bikes have you guys seen the honda NSR 250r, twin two-stroke 250cc , kickstart engine. They were sold only in Japan (even though a few made it to the states). The last few models weighted in just under 300 lbs, and had about 56 hp, but you could buy a race card (they used a card to restrict them for road use) for it that would bump it up to 65-70 hp, with a little more work these engines would put out close to 100 hp reliably. How is that for power to weight.

This would make a great quad project, last I heard Mac Dizzy got his hands on an engine and was going to through it into a quad. I've seen a few of these engines on ebay.

Image the power if you scaled this engine up to 1000ccs, 100 x 4 = 400 hp!!!!

Wow, I just got myself excited, this is my official new project.
