DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
The "new" in this case is the motorcycle companies forcing special rules to allow slower four strokes to compete with the faster two strokes by allowing the four strokes to have double the displacement. If not for that, how many four strokes would they be selling? Manipulation by corporations to make you spend more is the "new" here, and its a bad thing.
I remember in 2010 or so this dad was psyched I was racing a new 2stroke and blabbed to me how his kid was improving a lot on his 125 and he loved keeping him on one....fast forward a year and the kid was on a new kawi 250f and his dad was like "I had to, he wants to win!" haha

Even an old 125 lets say 2004 and up can be modified to keep up with modern bikes.
Suspension can be worked on and 125cc engines can be really fast if perfectly tuned and you ride them hard.
Ya dick wad.
Nobody is saying there isn't a 125 or 2 stroke class out there.....what they are saying is.....nobody makes 125's except KTM and Yamaha! And that the other 3 popular Jap brand bikes fucked their own ass by not making them any more. Instead , they push their 250F's on kids coming right off the 85's! Because to be competitive in any regional class , you need to be on a 250F.....which is fucking stupid!
You and the other ones seem to be lacking what this thread means and what people are complaining about. How ironic that you come in here ( totally confused ) and say " These guys are clueless and don't race ".
A.Dleary was right.........JESUS!
Pit Row
Make the pro structure stock based 250F's, with full factory mod 250F's in the premier class. Let the vet riders like me have the 450's.
About the tracks.....Loretta Lynns is actually a good example of how a track can be built to separate riders, but be fairly safe. It has many rollers and single jumps that keep the flow and speed down which limits any big momentum from being built.
If we aren't careful, this sport is going to cut its own head off. How long before parents are being charged in court for child endangerment when some 10 year old dies from jumping a 100ft triple?
Lot of mothers out there that don't share their son's passion. You know what they say about " A woman scorned".
A signed waver Isn't worth the paper It's printed on in court.
They might not see it any different than driving down the freeway with your baby not in a car seat. This sport needs to check it's barbaric tough guy attitude at the door and use some brains to get to the bottom of what's going on.
If the powers to be get Involved, there will be no compromise, the sport will just go the same way as Trike racing did. Here one minute, gone the next.
I get where you're coming from though.
Besides the fact....two completely different types of bikes. Two completely different types of a ride as well. To each their own.
2-3k will buy you about what? 10 top end kits, a spare cylinder an oem spare crank and maybe a few clutches just in case? Should probably keep these hardcore guys going for a year right?
Post a reply to: Everybody agree the 125 class is badly needed?
