Jumping the KX 500
Kawasakinut:
i bet if they came out with an eight stroke many people would jump on that bandwagon too. i am not falling for this. the rider makes the bike plain and simple.

man i bet that would get killer traction. :-D :roll:
here is the equation
less power for x cc's = more traction

when i get my kx 250 together here shortly first thing i'm going to do is go to the track and whoop some 450 a@#!! maybe even shoot some video for the site as proof of my hypothesis!!! lol

A four will never equal the power to weight of a two plane and simple. Thats why it takes 450cc four to run with a 250 two. Thats just the way it is.
I would like to see the AMA allow 450cc for the two strokes. What do you think would happen then?
Well its obvious. The four stroke will get killed every thing else equal.
Its true that the new bikes offer great brakes and suspension out of the box. However be realistic and realize that the rider is 90% and that a pro will whip your 450s tail on a bitty 125 if so desired.
The two stroke offers greater reliability, ease of maintenance and ultimately lower operational cost as well.
Don't be fooled by all the hype of the four strokes.

kayx250 do you really think the 450 is light?
--- Quote ---Have you ever riden a new 450? I rode a 2008 kx450 when I first got my kx 250 bored, ported and all that stuff which supposedily netted me over 50rwhp and let me tell you that kx450 scared me.
The power came on easy and just keep going on FOREVER without fail

you better rethink that 250/500 if your scared of a 450.
