Truck guy seemed like cliche HSE/HR office dweller, like get out of that truck and go yell at somebody for using a ladder wrong.

Well the truck is at a serious power-to-weight and gearing disadvantage.

Dodge TRX - 6500lbs - 1000hp = 6.5lbs/per HP

KX450 - 242lbs - 60hp built = 4.03lbs/per HP

Bike will win every time until it runs out of gear lol.

Add a rider and a driver and the numbers get much closer.

This. Figure 190lbs for the river/rider with gear.

Dodge TRX - 6690lbs (truck + driver) / 1000hp = 6.69lbs per HP

KX 450 432lbs (bike + rider) / 60 hp (which seems high to me) = 7.2lbs per HP

Power to weight isn't the issue here.

this shows how fast these modern day 450s really are. That truck is an 11 second truck.
