^imo, more fun than a ‘streetbike’ Loads of torque, and the weight keeps them agile in the corners. Something about riding a ‘very quick’ dirtbike, ON road, with the big brakes/rubber is appealing to me…depends on your background/experience and riding style ---

Well, I can almost promise ~100hp out of a 350lb ‘dirtbike’ would be somewhere between fun and scary. I’d consider riding one with a smaller motor first…even a 450/4stroke (dirt) with half the power of the bike in this thread is enough to rip off the arms of inexperienced riders. Arm Pump. It sucks, lol. ---

Dude my big ass on an old CR125 makes me feel like I’m strapped to a fucking rocket when it gets in the powerband with what? 30-35hp at most?! Granted I’m NOT an experienced rider by any means. ---

Lolol, at least u have the common sense to know what you can/can’t do and don’t just go balls out. The difference between a 125 and 250 is night and day difference, power wise. 450s are almost too fast, and barely get to third gear on most tracks. Power:weight on this new bike is insane. No fairings/shield/anything lol If I had the money id buy, and ride the absolute shit out of it. ---

Maybe top speed/ gear ratio- but from a motox standpoint, where its often up hill/steep ramp (I nvr raced arena, but ever been to a place called Unadilla ?lol) 450s dominate. The reliability/torque of 450s is why the two stroke is dying in racing today ---

That and the major push for four strokes in pretty much every manufacturer due to emissions regulations. Stand up jetskis have basically been phased out because they don’t do well with the heavier four stroke engines and the two strokes are illegal now. I understand that it’s a different application and situation in the dirt, but the same issue is still lingering in the background, pushing just that little bit more. ---

Pretty much every bike is better than your car other than the dodge tomahawk…:rofl Not getting in trouble is about your mind set about riding, not engine displacement; having said that, less power will always give you more room to save yourself from getting into one.
