2/7/2014 12:55pm Harley also has a stranglehold on their market, does that equate to a good product or just marketing?

Mitch_Berger Added a reply to 250 two stroke vs 450 four stroke unfair? 300 2 stroke vs 450 four stroke fair?
2/5/2014 6:59am totally agree with the 200,350 cc 4 strokes. Will make the racing a bit safer. Just got to get those riders to wear shoulder pads. Also bring back a box stock 125 2 stroke class with a 15K$ claiming rule to keep the costs down.
Mitch_Berger Added a reply to 2009 KTM150SX advice?
2/4/2014 8:19am I did the 4mm over (144cc) piston on my 05 125sx. Currently have a 2010 150xc. The current KTM150's which is really a 144 is a bored and stroked motor that has a lot more mid and low end than what my 05 125 with a 4mm oversize piston had. If you buy a bit of a worn out 150...

Mitch_Berger Added a reply to New track in Orange County CA
2/3/2014 12:14pm Our land use problems really ramped up with the four strokes(sound like a outboard motor). Anyways the alternative to a track in the greater L.A. is simple. Get an electric dirt bike, it would be easy to rent an old warehouse. Set it up as a club. The more people the less the cost. Quiet and neighborhood friendly. So you...
Mitch_Berger Added a reply to 4-Strokes making racing better?
12/18/2013 8:21pm When is a 40,000$ 250f engine leveling the playing field for the privateers? Payton says this is how much a top 10 engine costs. Anyway the bikes have gotten so good and just like in other sports such as F-1 they reduce the redline or engine size to keep the sport safer. I think a 175cc four and 2 stroke...
Mitch_Berger Started a new thread Production based AMA link
11/24/2013 5:27pm After reading this AMA rule book, one can see that there is very little production based parts left on a AMA pro bike racing superx or motox. http://www.amasupercross.com/rules/pdf/AMA_SupercrossRulebook13_web.pdf

Mitch_Berger Added a reply to Production based AMA link
11/24/2013 5:08pm The production rule was enacted to keep the cost of racing down for the factory teams. The motorcycle industry was in a steep 5 year down turn in the mid 80's and did not have the outside sponsorship that the factory teams have today.

11/18/2013 1:40pm About the only 2 things that our production rule state is that the swingarm pivot location and head angle have to be stock.

Mitch_Berger Added a reply to Ethanol in Iowa: Good for motors?
10/28/2013 8:12am Ethanol is BS. Hard on fuel pumps, fuel lines and will gum up your carb in just a few months if you let it set. Also there is less BTU's in the stuff. We also are subsidizing this inferior fuel.

10/24/2013 7:58am Omara, Bailey and Hannah and got along on team Honda back in the day. They pushed each other in a good way. I would expect no less from the Red Bull riders.
