KDX200 vs. 250R

Post by Budget_89KDX »

My buddy at work has a 80's model 250R atv with fmf pipe and some other bolt ons not sure exactly every time we ride he breaks down lol.anyhoo he kills my blaster and I've got about every mod done so we were talking about my kdx and when it would be done and he started in with the whole "my 250 will kick its ass" I wasn't sure what to say since I've had a bad kips valve since I got it.I have platinum pro circuit pipe,boysen reeds,uni filter,pro circuit silencer,45/158 jetting,no air box lid basic bolt ons.my question is can I beat this thing?I know its ridiculously fast outta the box but in a straight line do I stand a chance or should I keep my mouth shut and not challenge him and get embrassed?

Have a friendly race. At the end of the day, who cares who wins - just have fun riding, and be safe. I think he will give you a good run, but it depends on who gets out of the hole quicker....

Better yet, challenge him a race on some trails. He won't stand a chance.

No sense in all that trash talkin... made for 2 completely different applications. The 250R's are great very fast and dangerous motors in a 3 wheeler. Take it to the woods and single track and you will eat him for lunch.

Yea I hear that and it is in fun but this guy is kinda cocky and id never hear the end of it if I challenge him.I live and work in a small town and there's a lot of us who ride so word will get out we are going to run'em and if I don't stand a chance id rather not feed his ego.

id run him! maybe youll get lucky and he will break down in the middle of the run :grin:

i think youll have a chance even if he runs well.........IF your kdx is running at its best.......the 250r has more power...but more weight, but make sure you run on payment, because he has more weight to hook up with, and 2 tires........to your 1 tire! he will more than likely get you in the dirt.

So in theory does the kdx have enough balls to be atleast a drivers race?his is fast but I remember riding my cousins 250R's and banshees they raced at the track in casey and omfg they were scary fast.his isn't as fast as some of those but none the less fast.correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the 250r's right around 40hp stock?if so we should be evenly matched and I can ride pretty good.I drag my street bike at the local 1/8 mile track and its a pretty stout GSXR1100 and leaves like no ones buisness.so if its a drivers race I'm confident ill get'em.

challenge him to a race in the woods you dont stand a chance on the straight without a mechanical failure. the 250r is a rocket in the straights sucks in the woods trust me lol
