[QUOTE="robwbright, post: 1399251, member: 60515"] "A few thousand into the motor and suspension over the winter . . ." :whoa: You started this thread by thinking of buying a 125 2s and now you're thinking of putting several thousand dollars into the motor and suspension of a 250f? If you think you need that much motor and suspension to be fast, then why do you think a 450 will be too much for you? Just buy a 450, have the suspension valved and be done with it - you're certainly big enough in size/weight to handle one - and if you've got lots of B class riding experience - even 20 years ago, I'd think you'd adjust within a matter of days or weeks. A stock 450 will likely have more power than you'll ever need or use - and you won't have to spend big $$ on the motor. Even Ricky Carmichael's mechanic said they weren't tuning RC's bike for max power. Besides, if you're a really good rider, you'll beat guys on mod bikes anyway. After all, Ryan Hughes on an RM85 beat a B rider on a 450 in a 2 lap MX race. And "smoother power delivery" is a bit of an understatement. The 2 stroke hit is probably more "fun", but the 4s pull feels about like an electric motor in comparison -a very strong electric motor. [/QUOTE]
