Having recently raced (my son) the EGYZ144 in two MX Lites B Class venues I found it refreshing to see a 2 stroke competitive with the 250F's. Of 28 pilots, only 2 were smokers. Whether out the start or down the long rythm the 250F's didn't pull AT ALL... none, not even a wheel length. So now we're back to rider skill. The past weekend LL qualifier had the 144 in a qualifying spot thru half the last lap... can't win or qualify when the front washes out.
At first my son was uncomfortable with the looks and the laughs of the boasting thumpers, not so afterwards. This is not saying one technology is better than the other, simply it's OK if you like riding the 2t and better yet your no longer disadvantaged as with the 125.
It's OK to be different... and yes, when the top 8 roared by I could hear "the wind-up toy bike" and it was great! It's nice to pick and choose your racing weapon without worrying about being cool, different, or poster child for a manufacturer.
