Question about 125 and 250 power.

Im gonna ride a 2stroke in the houston race, because i can keep my speed up in the bowlturns since the enginebraking isnt as powerful as the 4stroke

lol I thought of doing that too..thought it would be fun if I came in as first 2 stroke LOL and probably only..but yeah screw that now
but, wouldnt holding the cluth when rolling through corners work on a 250f anyway?

Man, I just did some Time Trials at Allamuchy Mountain and when riding at that razor's-edge of my skill, I made a discovery. The 250F is very noticeably faster. Although I'm still going to ride two-stroke in all races and most of the time in general, I've no option at this point but to admit superiority, as far as MXS is concerned.

Here's my lap on the 250F, if anyone's interested.

well will they have to change the CRF's because the 2009 is like 2HP faster then the 2008

Wtf? Where did you find that? =/ What ive read...they're almost identical..And my friend who just switched to a 09 said it was a little bit weaker o,o..though his 08 was..from america, different pipes..though stock

I've been using the dyno charts from the Transworld MX 250f shootouts. I believe the 09 numbers will be in the next issue.

The 250f's make more power across the entire rpm range. The only advantage a 125 has is that it's a little lighter and more maneuverable.

[DannyBoy]

really jlv? i actually didnt know that the 250f's had more power all around i thought the 125's would be quicker acceleration wise.. ahh well good information


off toppic: Mikey your sig looks horrible tbh

[jlv]

Dirt rider had a pretty interesting 125/250f/250/450f comparison a few years ago. It's from 2005 but the only place the 125 is even close is at 11,500. It is 15 pounds lighter than the 250f which would help the acceleration a little.

i have a question are all the 125s the same power wise. and the 250 all the same? (all four colors)
i have found the suzuki have more power to the ground. is it just me or is it really like that?

[hvpunk62]

idk but ive noticed in game the rm125 revs the highest out of all the 2 smokes thts why i love it =]

[DJ99X]

Each bike has its own power curve

[hvpunk62]

so DJ wht bike u think handle best,or is fastest

[DJ99X]

Each 125 handles the same as each other, same with the 250F's. The bike with the strongest power curve (for 2008) was the CRF250

[Mikey]

well i have an08 and my brp has an 09 and i can tell u that the 09 is much faster, mybes more torque but its definalty faster

[Rallemx]

Mikey..What bikes? I find it really hard to believe that..=/

And..I THINK that the rm 125 is the fastest of the 2 strokes, and the kawa of the 250fs..Or the honda..very..even
Yamaha is definitely the slowest, but its got the best handling
Just..my opinion?
