[QUOTE="robwbright, post: 1074381, member: 60515"] I couldn't disagree more. While the useability of the power spread is very important (i.e. why everyone likes the 4 strokes - and I understand why they do), I was faster in the first 10 minutes on the 144 than I was on the stock bike. That statement is based on my ability to clear certain sections on the 144 that I couldn't on the 125 - after taking the whole winter off from riding, so it wasn't because I was particularly sharp on my riding skills. For example, a double double section shortly after a corner. The increase in (useable) power of the 144 definintely helps on the speed of corner exits. Ironically, my results are worse because the classes I race in has grown from 4-8 riders to 12-15 riders. And yes, there are sections of the track where I use the max HP output of the bike, so an extra 6-8 HP makes more than a little difference there. Would I be even quicker on a 4 stroke 250? Perhaps. I'm sure I would be quicker on the 250f the longer the race went - i.e. 5 laps vs. 15 laps. But the HP increase on the 144 did make me faster early season this year than I was on the 125 late last year. [/QUOTE]
