I disagree, the 250f's will still be better just because they hookup so much nicer and are more forgiving. The same reason 4 pokes rule atv racing.

The rule to allow 144 was to let the 125 get closer to 250f's. Those 250f's are putting out preaty good power.

ktm's hydraulic clutches are sweet.

hey I have a question why do they alow 250cc four strokes to run a race with a 125cc class.

[02rm125]

from what ive heard, it is legal now to increase the bore size, but not the stroke....and ive also read that without stroking, a 139cc motor runs better than a 144 because the piston is lighter, allowing it to rev a lot faster....so if you're going to bore out your 125, i suggest you bore it to 139 rather than 144, not that its going to help much against the 250f's anyway

A 2 stroke will almost always feel faster because of the peaky powerband. 4 strokes feel slow because they have smooth linear powerbands. A 125cc 2 stroke is not as fast as a 250cc 4 stroke in stock form. It's not even close.
