will the scared and rattled reconsider allowing the 250 smokers in the 250F series?
I mean if it's possible to be faster on a 250Fs than on a 450, and the 250 smokers are consider inferior to the 450s, isn't it time to let them back in?
I stole this thought from MXA, because I think they are spot on.

They might not be the fastest, but with some electronic devises, making the engine characteristics pulsatile and with remained less moving parts I see them winning ground.
You get?
MXA also made mention in that article that Pourcel had a faster qualifying time at Daytona. But I believe that was because they changed the track after the lights practice to remove a quad jump. I had one rider tell me that it instantly meant that the first round of qualifying in Lites was going to be the faster of the two because doing that jump was worth at least a second per lap.

Pourcel was fastest in second practice, wich (I suppose) is right before the second supercross group a practice. Thats even more impressive.
I hope you correct your mistake in the other thread
the last 450 practice. Not dissing on Pourcel, just saying.
Rock on, Mrs. C - you don't need me to tell you what a wonderful, special kid
you have there.
But I'm telling you anyways.
Everybody loves that kid.
He's got that something.
Something that true motocrossers dig and respect,, who can describe it ?
Who's right?
Thanks, Rupert
Some may argue that certain tracks favor the more agile 250F, but both these tracks are wide open tracks more suited to a big bore.
I have noticed that certain fast riders hold their right wrist in a funny way, sort fo like they are twisting something . Maybe that's got something to do with it?
Pit Row
This will immediately increase the "cool" factor of the smoker amongst the sheeple, and they'll start questioning why they are spending so much money maintaining and rebuilding their heavy complicated 4 stroke.
That could adversely affect sales of the 4 stroke so don't expect the manufacturers, *cough* sorry I meant the AMA, to allow it any time soon.
RD had fastest laps over 250's and 450's more than once and no i will not look it up..
european manfactures are the only ones updating their 2t because in europe enduro is a big thing, the general weekend rider does it more them mx, and 2 strokes are cheeper and still competitive in enduro because of being ligther..........
all you guys can cry whatever you want about the old days, but if anyone wants ride 2 strokes, rides 2 strokes........and if they are not racing at high level is because no top team or rider want to ride with them........
this year there will be a ktm 250sx racing the mx1 class, from a good german team and the rider is an hot young french named cedric soubeyras........he did good with it against j.hill, n. wey, k chisholm and a few euro stars like musquin in a eurosx this winter........
lets see what he does against the big boys in the mx1 class........
still he is doing it becase he couldnt find any other way to be in the world championship.....
his riding style is made for the big bikes.
BTW they should get rid of the 450-class, let's keep it to 125's, and 250(smokers and bangers) That's usually where the fun racing is anyway, isn't it?
