Thump said:"Real" racers make the time. I guess you are a "Convenience" racer. :laugh:
Okiewan said:So, you guys think banging your heads on the wall will keep the 2-stroke alive or is it just a case of denial? ;p Come on you guys, join us in the present... it's not so bad here.
Well 40 times in a year elevates your status to a "Pro-Convenience" racer. LOLbclapham said:yep, thats me- i race when its convenient, i am aiming at about 40 times this year.
so come on thump, how long have you been riding MX????
then if you hot rod them, call it a season instead!
... dont know how true this rumor is, but I heard that next years CR125 will be supplied "by special order only", I guess meaning you lay down the money and they build it, or build only so many (cant see a production line running off and on...).....Okiewan said:How long will the mfg's continue to make 2 bikes for each class? Which one will get the axe?
bclapham said:MX1, MX2 like in Europe,
Okiewan said:It won't start? Humm... I don't seem to have that problem with either the CRF or YZF. Drop it, turn it over, whatever.
Face it my brothers, 2-strokes are going away. You can call the whammmmbulance if you like, but the writing is obviously on the wall. You can talk about the efficiency of the 2-stroke til you turn green (pun intended)... enjoy it in your weed whacker while you can, it's not going to be in MX bikes or your yard tools much longer.
Doesn't your Euro MX world revolve around Everts? Pichon? Smets? What do they ride? Why do they ride it? The undisputed fastest MX'er on the planet will ride the 450 this year. Why? HRC conspiracy?
It takes more cc's... what exactly are the weight to hp ratios? Are they that far off? How long do you think it will be before the 4-stroke has a better ratio? 2 years? 1? For some (apparent silly) reason, the fastest riders on the planet are going 4-stroke. How can that be? How can they make such uninformed decisions? Did they not consult Bruce first? :laugh: Everyone knows that only slow fat guys and woods riders like thumpers. It seems they aren't bothered by your cc : hp math.. they want the bike that will get them around the track the fastest. Infidels!
I'm not sure what this love affair with "X"-Stroke is all about. I was around MX when the 2-Stroke was the newbie, I'm around for the 4-stroke coming back. I couldn't care less. Whatever bike I feel more comfortable on, I'll ride.

Nothings changed today except younger fitter man race them.
they still sound like sh!t and embarrass the hell out of me when I take friends to a GP.

Doesn't Freddette ride a Husky CR125?
