whoa...common sense, two stroke DIRTBIKE, against a 660R fourstroke quad...dirtbike would smoke it hands down, hence the dirtbike pushes one tire about 4-5 inches wide, fourwheeler pushes two tires 9-10 inches wide...a lot of power loss there.

well maybe on the street but if your in sand dragraceing like you sould be the raptor is going to hook up and beet a yz250 for at least 100 yards than maybe after 100 yards it mite pass it. on the top end side.

When i race my friends KX250 with my raptor, not even funny. He has quite a bit of work to his bike, and i have my listed mods. When the race starts i grab him off the line for seriously 10 ft and bam its over. Its not even funny how insane 2 stroke bikes are. Done even race unless you want to see how bad you get killed.

However, wait til he gets a bald rear tire, and race him in a grass field. You will win then everytime.

ok, lets say there both on grassy terrain...a YZ125 can keep up with me on grass-easy, but top end i get the edge a little bit. your right, on sand the quad will hook up better casue of the bigger tires...and dirtbikes are a pain to ride in the sand. dirtbikes are just plain old quicker in acceleration by a long shot, and then after that you got the powerband...so yeah, the quads screwed until they both top out...then the quad might start gaining by a little bit...

Top end on a 125 maybe touchable for a raptor. But unless you do some serious gera changing, for get it. Ill be wide open 5th gera bouncin off the limiter, and he flies past me in a wheelie.
