lt250r vs RM80-100
Bing, You’re almost making my point for me.
Lt250r=324lb ----------------------- 86lt250r=mid 20's hp maybe upper 20's
RM80=something like 150lb-------RM80=28hp
Now you slow down and think about it. If all those #s were correct, an lt250r would have no chance against a RM80 no less a RM125.
The weight is easy to verify so its just a question of realistic hp claims.
If a RM80 has 28hp than a RM125 would have at least 35hp maybe 40hp. If that was so, than an lt500 wouldn’t have a chance no less a nearly stock 5 speed non power valve lt250r.
Here is another way to think about it. If a RM80 produces that many hp per cc stock, than a quad motor could be modified to produce the same hp per cc on pump fuel.
RM80 28hp/80cc = 0.35hp per cc
Blaster 200cc X 0.35hp = 70hp
LT250r 250cc X 0.35hp = 87.5
Banshee 350cc X 0.35 hp = 122.5hp
LT500r 500cc X 0.35hp = 175hp
Does that sound likely to you?

You people are crazy to think that any 85 or 80cc bike has 28hp. They have about 18-20hp and that is a lot considering that they are so light. 80cc bikes, 125's as well have no torque whatsoever. A late model 80cc has only like 10-14 ft. lbs of torque 125's have about 20 ft. lbs and a little over 30hp.... 250's have about 30ft. lbs. and about 45 hp.... All these bikes are late model of course. The new one's are way torquier than the old because of improvements and more advanced powervalves but no way do they have near a 250's amount of torque. An 80cc wouldn't stand a chance but a 125 late model would smoke any 250cc quad. It would also eat a banshee for lunch. I saw a kid smoke a stock banshee (2000) on a lightly modded 87 cr125. 80's have such short gears as well and no low end.... they bog so bad unless you got a little light kid on them. My lt has tons of torque cause of the powervalve. I even think my modded lt could beat my stock 86 rm 125 with its .60 over wiseco and boyeseen reeds... in fact i know it can beat it (LT is modded of course and is a 92) and my 86 rm 125 is real fast. Stock (86 rm) it has like 24.3 hp and 12.7 ft. lbs. of torque. Go to[*]www.georgiaoffroad.com for dirtbike specs.

If 80's were that fast no one would ride 125's!!!

oh yeah it might be closebut i doubt it i ran a cr80 gainst my 400ex and i beat him not im not going to lie i didnt beat him by that much but i did beat him and our lt250r will get my 400ex anyday so i think yuoll beat him pretty bad
hey mojave300ex if you had that bad of dirt bike and you liked that kind of speed why did you get a mojave or 300ex why not jump up to a big boy bike like 400 or bigger

my friends 1996 rm80 was bored to 103 with a new wiesico engine and pro circuit silencer and bills pipe header boyesen reeds brembo bakes hinson clutch. he had it dynoed at a local shop(i know theyre all different) and it read 36 hp with 32 lb ft torque
now he has a 98 cr80 big wheel with the exact same mods and it read 38 hp with 34.7 lb ft torque
