oh no im think im gunna give in to a 4 poke :(

[Wacko Jacko]

there comes a time and place where you gotta swallow your pride and admit 4 strokes are better for certain things, alot of people have a hard time doing that, the fact that people still build "mx banshees" (oxy moron) is proof of this.
if the thumper is gona make you more competitive and be easier to ride on smaller tracks, DO IT!

im saying its a necessity to have a 450
a couple years ago
ppl in begginer class alone were running 300ex's, blastys, and 400ex's now everyone and their mom is on a 450
i dont wanna be like everyone else
i already stood out at my last race, i was the only 2stroke (besides the minis)
but if gettin a 450 is gonna get me some points and help me win
then im for sure as hell gonna do it if thts whts gonna keep my name high up in the charts. its NOT about being like everyone else or 2strokes are better or 4strokes are better. its about keeping up with the competition.

i will agree i love them 2 sm0okers are sweet but the450s can out rev its like another gear... the 06 450 will rev to 16500 with a web cam dwell springs and such ,,, ported ...stock stroke and piston.. it wasnt far on the 250 r any more i sold the chasy a year ago.. to build the 450 ... i still have my 01 rm and luv it ... but on a track it isnt even close you ride twice as hard for them to just pull on you in the straights it suck so had to give in ...

horsepower isnt everything...
its not about "more power" especially when it comes to MX
its about the right kind of power
and 4 strokes make it
tons of torque, smooth tractor power, way more controllable and easy to ride, doesnt matter how much hp the 250r is makin, it doesnt have that smooth power and tractor like torque of a 450
and theres nothin wrong with the 450 chassis, why create all that work and hassle, custom fabrication, when there is nothign wrong with the 450 chassis,. if the 250r chassis was that m uch better im sure somsone would be shoe horning 450 motors into them and racing them at pro level
