[QUOTE="robwbright, post: 1374538, member: 60515"] A good rider on a 125 can beat a class of 250f's - if he's better than the guys on the 250f's. It's at least 90% rider. I race C and D class - I was on an Eric Gorr built RM144 with suspension mods. A friend on a bone stock RM125 beat me by about 1/2 a lap in a 5 lap race. He'd probably beat me if he was riding an RM85. I still remember the article from one of the MX mags where former MX pro Ryan Hughes raced against one of the B class writers for the mag. The B class guy was on a 450. Ryan beat him every time they raced, even though Ryan was on the following bikes: 450 250f 125 85 DRZ125 trail bike. The only way the B rider beat Ryan was when Ryan got on a bicycle. The biggest difference I notice on my (new to me) 03 YZ350f is that it is rather easier for me to go faster (don't have to work as hard to keep it "on the pipe" and wheel spin is much less of an issue) - IF I want to go faster. The question then becomes: At age 37, do I really want to be going faster than I am? Do I really want to jump 80 feet instead of 60? Am I willing to raise the risk of injury? Thus far the answer has been that I don't want to go a while lot faster - but I'm still getting used to the handling, suspension and the different power delivery. Ask me again in the spring. [/QUOTE]
