And The Dirtbikes Come Out!

My 89 stock 250 would run circles around your quad. Ive raced many modified quads like yours of guys who just thought their ride was the fastest, hell at the red river I raced a dude and beat him only for him to say "I would have won if I had my nitrous on" so I laughed in his face and rode off. Its like a car racing a motorcylce, unless your car is lightweight and has a ton of power, you ain't gettin past that bike.

You must have the baddest stock 250 ever or your not racing the caliber of quad I am riding. My 'shee weighs within 50 lbs of your dirt squirt and easily doubles the horsepower...... I would love to touch em off once just so you could say.... damn that thing is fast

Not sayin its slow, im just saying you wont likely beat me thats all. This monster is for cross-country racing, whether or not that has something to do with its ability to haul ass is beyond me, All I know is that it only has about 45 total hours on motor which is not rebuilt everything factory, and that powerband, when it kicks in, will damn near throw you off the bike. I dont think your raptor is aerodynamic either so resistance will also make you slower while factoring in your 50 plus more weight. Also, wouldnt a persons body weight also add to how much harder an engine will work to move? Well like I said before, I will stick to my Dirt Squirt, whatever that means lol, and you your quad.

I'm a bit late to this, but I had to laugh when Nitro Cherokee says his Banshee is within 50lbs of an RMX250. Stock, the RMX is under 250lbs, while the Banshee is almost 400lbs. And quad riders wonder why folks call quads retard chariots..........

This thread stated out as a nice dirt bike thread & and bunch of quad riders come in and clog it up. It truly figures.....just like out on the trails in real life, some dirt bike guys create something nice and soon enough a bunch of quad riding buffoons come along and muck it all up..........There has to be a special place in hell for them and the potheads that designed the stupid things in the first place.

The world would be a much better place if they just stuck to the farmyard fixing fences & such, where they belong.

You don't even need brute power to beat a quad in a race with a dirt bike. All you need is a rough trail. Any novice dirtbike rider can scoot thru there faster than the best pro on the fastest quad. Don't even get me started about how bad the inate handling characteristics are on any quad.

Oh well, it's almost spring here, perhaps the DIRTBIKE riders can restart this thread.........??

wow you have some serious issues... do i go to hell if i own an atv and dirt bike?

Nanotech Environmental · February 22, 2012

Issues? Sure why not...........

Use the quad for work stuff & stay off the single track & etc. with it & you're good.......

If you have a dirtbike, why on earth would you even bother with a sport quad? It's like having a super hot,horny wife with a brains and a great personality...why sneak some on the side with an ugly, fat, dumb chick with a dull personality, BO & bad breath?

KMGZ400 · February 22, 2012

well this proves to me that something is not right with you..

2 wheel wonder girls!!! Yeee haww! Y'all think your the next Bubba Stewart everytime you twist your little squirt throttles.

And hey, all that cruising around the trail head parking lot "brap brapping" your stupid a$$ throttles does nothing more than piss of the neighbors, you know, the actual people that actually own the land your about to play Supercross racer on?

The best part? Y'all also think that you're the reason that trail systems are put, and kept, in place. Well "bubba", here in the great state of Michigan, I can first handedly tell you that your theory ain't worth a bucket of piss. Quad and truck clubs keep trails open and maintained while the bike guys sit on their hands and cry, cry, cry about everything. There are designated area's and trails for both and I can tell you that there ain't no quad getting down any MCCC trail that I've ever seen because single track is a large description of the designated cycle trails here in Michigan so continue on about hot wife's talk and the rest of your trash, us quad and truck guys will keep bailing your lazy butts out, for some stupid reason. I'd prefer if you'd just keep your Supercross wanna be a$$es on the track's, not blowing stop signs at trail crossings and almost causing an collision with other orv's, where you belong but that's just me.

Just sold my yz250f and my old Honda four wheeler. Rebuilt my rm125. And about to pick up a 2012 Polaris sportsman. I love the mud and trails around here and that's where I use my four wheeler. I also go on a few trips a year. My dirt bike is for the cottage and track only. No sense trail riding a 2 stroke race bike.

CT77-

I didn't mention any theories, just the facts & some of my personal opinions. I've rode a bunch of MCCCT trails in the Great State of MI. Also know a bunch of club members. I can absolutely & factually say you're wrong on all counts. Much of the (formerly) single track is now quadded out(how do you suppose that happened?). The local bike clubs are very, very active in all areas of trail maintenance etc. Most riders I know (which is in the hundreds) ride quietly & don't bother anyone- that's up to a few local kids on the clapped out loud old MX bikes & all of the sport quad crowd.

The reason most db guys get pissy is because of the mess the quad & truck guys make of the trails. Why wouldn't they get mad? The mess created by the beer swilling truck & quad crowd is also the #1 reason landowners shut down trails. You can argue it all you want, but all statistics and trail studies have come to the same conclusion.

You're welcome to live in the town of denial, but keep in mind that it's in a State of Mind, not the State of MI.

???

Put a quiet muffler & some insurance on it, & back off the compression damping a bunch & you're all set for trail riding. It makes perfect sense. My new bike is a 2 stroke competition bike; insured and quiet & I almost exclusively ride trails. (Not big on the jumping thing......)

Way better & waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more fun than plodding along on a rough riding, ill handling, overgrown & overweight 4 wheeled behemoth.......

All my bikes, boat and everything are insured.. Local trails don't allow 2 strokes (other than sleds in the winter) everything you said to mod the bike for the trails completely kills the purpose of a race bike. I race motocross, I'm young and dumb, I make my bike fly. It would be useless at the track in trail form. Plus you couldn't take my bike where I take my four wheeler through mud and mountains... Not to mention carrying camping supplies on my trips. Everything has it's purpose.

Its funnny how everyone wth a banshee thinks their badass,when they are stock there pigs.I walked plenty of banshee's on both of my 250's

It say you're from Ottawa. What trails don't allow 2 strokes? Limerick, Larose and everything North & west of Ottawa are all open to everything- 2strokes and 4strokes - always have been. Which suggestions I made kill the purpose of a race bike? Backing off the compression? -Takes 2 minutes with a screwdriver. Putting a quieter muffler on it? What does that hurt? It doesn't hurt the power & if you knew anything about human physiology, you'd know that studies have shown that riders on quiet bikes don't get near as tired as riders on loud bikes due to the reduced adrenal response in the body. Plus it helps keep tracks open - The AMA is now on board with their 94db rule. Even so, it only takes 5 minutes to switch out mufflers. Even torquey expansion chambers & Flywheel weights don't take long to switch.

PS, there is not one trail in Ontario that I can't get thru faster on my bike than any quad - the nastier, the better. I can't tell you how many times I've came across a bunch of big 4x4 quads with winches on a gnarly sloppy trail & they look at us & say "You'll never make it over that pile of rocks, or thru that next section"..... I just say watch this & proceed to flit over it like a butterfly. Done! Then we look back and give them the thumbs up and continue on our way- usually carrying all kinds of extra gear at the same time. Many of the fastest guys I know ride 125s cause their so much fun in the woods.

Granted, if you need to drag a moose out of the woods, a quad would be easier, but there's no match for a bike for pure fun.

I was going to argue with this 3blowjob3 guy, but I can already see it would be like arguing with a 2 year old. Next time you come to the great state of Michigan look me up I'll be happy to smoke your ass anyday, and twice on Sunday. I think that cold Canadian air has frozen your logical brain cells
