Bike testing at Budds Creek - TM/KTM/Yamaha
« Reply #15 on: April 06, 2012, 01:55:55 PM »
Im not so concerned with the 300v450 debate.

Id rather hear how the 125/300 TMs go up against the YZ and KTM 250's in every aspect.

-price
-finish/componants/features
-handling/weight
-performance (hill climbing, draging, corner exits, top end, bottom end etc etc)


-and if only you could stop by at a dyno center on the way home that would top it all off!!!
if thats not possible then give us a bum dyno reading of each bike haha compared to the yz/ktm which have known power ratings.

I'd like to see the TM 250 drag race the YZ 250 & KTM 250 SX. Also drag race the 300s against the thumper 450. Make sure there's plenty of traction. A few third gear roll-ons would be great too, for the above mentioned machines. Any of them can do good around a track with a good rider. If you're near any dunes, that is a great natural dyno test. Takes good power to pull a high gear up a long, steep dune without bogging. The bike that does those things best would be my choice. I've no doubt that all of then handle well.

I am going to sweet talk the old lady in the registration building and see if we can get transponders on all the bikes.

I emailed Wozney, told him to come out and film that day.  He makes some of the slickest MX videos on the net.  We'll see what he says, pretty sure he lives around here.

You are inviting GuyB right??? ;D

Ha! You should! Let him see a real test, and not some phoney baloney MXA/ TWMX test.

So I spoke to Matt Woz at Snake creek this weekend. He said he will unfortunately not be around for the 12th. He will be in California getting ready for the outdoors and covering all the goings on at the local SoCal MX tracks. He took some great shots of me on my TM300EN this weekend though.
