The maximum torque of a 125 is roughly half that of a 250.

I know the answers but it would be far better to hear you tell me in this thread. :moon:
The O'show was fast that day no doubt, but not the fastest, and he did not do it on a weekly basis to the athletes racing the AMA MX series.
I just read a section in the AMA rules in the American Motorcyclist mag about being disqualified/fined/penalized for riding a bike of improper engine size. The example given was something like: "Example-riding a 200cc bike in the 250-up class", or something similar to that. Not sure how this all translates to the SX, however.
yes, but it's probably not that big a deal since the US Open is a one-off event, not part of any series.lwsmithjr said:Didn't Brock Sellards ride a KTM 200SX @ Vegas last year?
Blew my mind!! It had rained for about a month straight, and only after a cuople days of drying it rained the night before the main. The track couldn't hold much power(The reason RC didn't win the 1st moto). Their HS track held my WR in a quicksand trench for about 1/2hr while I heaved trailside. Budd's was a mess last year, but I LOVED every minute of it--every year...If I remember correctly Bubba had the fastest lap time last year at Budd's Creek.
Timr said:Here's my comment on Bubba: I was in the stands and he was clearly faster than even Reed! He had two sections of the track that no one else could get through as smoothly and quickly as he did. I'm sure you saw this on TV, after the 250 main, Reed limped over to the podium; Bubba looked like he could've gone another 15 laps.
hes not turned a 250 wheel in anger yet, its very different to a practice track, rc and the others are not the same as the current 125 riders-
nephron said:Marcus, you continue to claim that Bubba is injury prone. He's been injured ONCE, as I recall. Reed, at least twice. Langston, 14,546. James' injury just happened to be serious enough to require a rest.
