You sound more and more like Cox with each post...
The manufacturers.
Everyone can see that at National level the 250's need big dollars for engine development and maintenance.
Lazy, low revving 450s last a lot longer and are more reliable and cheaper.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for an interested promoter with hundreds of millions of dollars that they want to burn by outbidding all the manufacturers and control the top riders.
Then once thats done he can spend hundreds more millions buying out all the track owners so he can run a 1 class series to satisfy your lap time hypothesis.
Once thats all done we can all sit on our letterbox waiting for MXA to come and tell us all about how the riders all chose the 450cc bike so they wouldnt outgunned by the factory 450 next to them. Then after all that, we still haven't got a TV package where we can watch it live on our phones from across the other side of the world for a small fee.
Man there is so much wrong with MX today, im glad you're here with all the answers to the questions nobody was asking.
The better argument might be to drop the 250s and only run 450 cc bikes.

^This.
The lighter bikes have at least that advantage here more than anywhere else.

Little, to no difference between the lap times, of the Top riders, in different classes.
That some are either too young, or so unknowledgeable of our sport, thinking they've made a new discovery, and then propose to change classes, or, dumb it down, well, we've always got limited individuals in our ranks that want to put forward their ideas for 'improvements'.
Yes, everyone can have their ideas, but not many of said 'ideas', are worthy of our magnificent sport.
Maybe cuts down on lappers by having so many more top riders and so many less that are 30 seconds off per lap.
And the last 10 are generally so far off pace it shouldn’t even really be the same class.
But people get incredibly upset over comments like this.
And yes the 40th place rider can smoke me. Hence why I’m not out there.
Sometimes pulling back the curtain and exposing the truth is needed.
So you think we should have just one premiere class because a few 250 riders, on a much smoother track, at one race, ran a faster lap time? Of course at Unadilla where the 450’s ran first Roczen ran a fast lap of 2:19 while Cooper ran a fast lap of 2:23….Well there goes that theory…
Not to mention your idea of having one premier class would cause fewer factory rides, fewer 2nd tier support rides and would actually hurt more than help the sport.
I can’t wait to hear your explanation on how this would actually help the sport….
