depends on the bike. Most bikes will run somewhere along the lines of a 17/xx all depends on the bike. Its not that hard to hit those numbers my honda has ran 77 in the 100 yards in 4th gear

Starting in second and hitting 80+ mph by 4th gear is impressive to say the least.If i were to gear my Shee like this there is no way id be able to start in second...

And the fact that they hit the hill pinned in a gear where it does not matter if you have a broad powerband or not, as I said. On a flat drag that isn't quite as possible, probably why 2 strokes kick so much more *** on the hillshooting than they do on the flats. From what I've seen the 4 strokes are getting a lot closer on the flat stuff....

Tell that to Dabeechman...I dont think he will agree with you...Two stroke are king of the flats as they are king of the hills and thats a fact.

I just know what I see on the 300ft times as posted when 14mins and all the guys get together at the tracks. The fastest 2 stroke was just under 4 secs while the fastest 4 stroke was just over 4 secs. Pretty close in my eyes.

Lets put this in perspective would you, you are talking about one fast 700 something cc Raptor and it is indeed very fast but with that said it still aint as fast as the fastest stock strokes, stock bores, non turbo, non nitrous fed 350cc alky Banshees at least not yet...Will it match or beat the times posted by these Banshees it probably will but your still ways away from beating the fastest Banshees.The Banshee engines are getting bigger and bigger every year so while the fastest are running around 3.8s right now those time are going to get lower as the engines are getting more powerfull that is if the trannys are still up to the task.
