Polaris vs honda

[gh500]

sounds like you already raced him and lost and are looking for ways to beat him or excuses why it happened

[RagunCajun]

a damn 250 dirtbike against a a quad that isnt crazy modded....just race and beat him.

No i honestly never raced him. i've never even went riding with him. i just know him from school and we had plans to ride then he got his sport quad and started getting cocky and i want to ride with him but id rather shut his ass up first.

not entirely true, that 525 is a proven KTM motor, bascially just a detuned version of the bike motor. like i said earlier, the gear ratios are longer in the quad, so in shorter races you will win. but in the longer ones it might be a toss-up. just race the fucker lol

lol if ya really wanna shut him up take him to a track and do a 5 lap moto

[03cr250]

he wanted to do a 2 outa 3 race thing there is a windey hill climb we were gunna race then there is a flat track about a 1/4 mile around and then the drag. i am pretty sure i have him in the track and hill climb wut do u guys think.

[MX86]

what do i think? just race the guy already, you can analyze every aspect of each vehicle, but in the end it don't matter who "could" win on paper, even if the bikes were equal it would come down to rider experience. so instead of askin us.. (MX rider, engine builder, and trail riders) get out there and git er done!

[03cr250]

If experience is what matters then ill have him. I've been riding bikes for 5 years and he was just puttin around on his auto utility quad for 2 years and 3 months on this sport quad.

[MX86]

don't get too cocky now. experience isn't everything thing, but it will help. it will come down to length of race, who hits the gears better, holeshot, traction, everything will play into factor.

wel l I agree sort of lol ....the key word is " detuned " sure the ktm 510cc(called a 525) engine is a torque monster and does put out some serious power ...but thats not nearly what your going to get in the porduction quad version ,................... just race the kid for Petes sake
