i know you are a desert racer but again i want to point out that it is enough horsepower on a racetrack.
Do we over here think racing a 250 2 stroke against a 250 4 stroke is ok? I heard that it is a not honest advantage for the 2 stroke. But can someone explain me then why laptimes of 250 4 strokes are often faster or the same as 450 4 strokes? First of all i think it is the guy that races the bike. It reminds me of vilopollo (not correct spelling i think) raced against 450 4 strokes with a 250 4 stroke and he won. Motocross of the nations. So if he is able to win on a four stroke why should a 250 2 stroke not be albe to win over 450 4 strokes?
I guess 99% of all here will be faster on the lighter bike then on a stronger bike no matter 4 or 2 strokes.
So i do not agree with not honest advantage just because of displacement.
Is cairoli insane to ride a 350 against 450"s. And he also wins on that bike. Is it not fair to race a 250 2 stroke against a 350 4 stroke? I do not know. Laptimes tell a different story.
So i think this husky has horsepower enough for anyone and under trackracing conditions it is not like a middle weight boxer having to fight a heavy weight.
For the rest i can say that my brother is classic car tuner and he always says horsepower is for clients and torque wins races. But for motox i found that too much torque (like 500 2 strokes) is just a pain in the ass.
My guess is when you put a fast rider on a 2 stroke he will win against whatever bike.
Then we have motogp where only 12 bikes are racing now because they banned 2 strokes there too. I guess for the same reason and this has no use at all because it went out of financial reach of lots of people so same thing will happen to motocross which is a shame. 4 stroke are good for in cars but my guess is that for motocross and racing 2 strokes are the better choice. This 4 stroke thing has no use at all for normal people.
