That's impossible, there are too many hills at GH for that to happen. Fake news.

Only problem is to make a 250 that fast is money, 5k a week probably. The 450 will last a season, hardly any mods or rebuilds.

It's not as if the track gets rougher as more bikes ride on it or anything...
Awesome job by Cooper though, he has some serious skills and very well may be the future of this sport.

Would be interesting to see what Tomac or Musquin’s times would be on a 250F compared to their 450’s, this gives me reason to think that maybe they’d be faster yet.
The 500 class died for this reason, is history going to repeat itself?

Too much is just that, too much. A 250 can be fast as you want it, but how much money? As it gets cheaper to make more power, the weight difference starts to make sense. Electric will be here before anything else happens though.

Can't wait to quote your posts when you're forking out all that cash at the end of the season

the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it

They did last weekend and the top 10 guys in the 250 class were faster than 3-10 in the 450. Thanks for coming I’ll be here all week

i mean let em race same time on same track , you really think if Tomac and Cooper would race against each other Copper would beat Tomac ?? ..250 are first to race , conditions of track are usually better at that time so its not that odd to see ..i remember Herlings being faster in MX2 as the MXGP riders on a regular base
just watched the race and his fastest lap was 4 sec off Plessinger
