Allen Knowles is a dick. His doesnt give a shit about anyone who isnt his buddy. The only credit I will give him is that he is damn good at porting a cylinder so it looks go to the untrained eye, but is slow as shit.

Yeah no shit, the Q-racers were obviously paying his bills for a good amount of time. Not to mention that there wouldn't be a z-400 without the old quadracers. the Z's have a lot in common with the LT250R framewise, and the swingarm is pretty much a dead-balls match with a couple of improvements. I had an 04 z400, and I traded it for an 89 Zilla, and guess what, I'd do it agian given the chance. In my opinion, the quadracers helped get this sport to the point where it is today. if it wasn't for ALL the old 2 stroke quads, everyone would be riding Grizzlies and Rincons.

Your right and besides anything to do with a quadracer he is still a dick. He builds so of the slowest Pro X hondas I have ever seen.

Grizzlies and Rincons, man is that a scary-ass thought. I'd have to move over to the rail-buggy riding before I'd go that route.

has anyone seen the new dirtwheels yet?? They put the origional test from 1985 of the LT250...i thought that was really interesting...hopefully they do a lot more of those. In the mean time...i think people should post any other good pictures and articles of old 2 strokes, especially the Quadracers and Tecates, since they are the most rare of them.

quadracers aren't rare by any means...

well...i have noticed they dont seem rare online, but around here im the only one...you have to admit u see a ton of hondas compared to the 'racer though. Im brand loyal to suzuki, and i just plain like the tecates, so i guess thats a better reason for liking to read about them..haha.
