Not sure if you actually read the post or just started running your mouth, but this build is same weight as your XM/ 478lbs is full of fluids and 2 gallons of gas. Not quite there as horsepower #'s go but guarantee this sled pulls way harder then your 800 and will carry much faster track speeds. Can't believe how some people are against 4stroke, where would supercross be if villapoto had to ride 2stroke? Definetly not riding tracks they do today. Just saying
Your chassis is a poo, your motor is a yammi...WTF do you have to do with this thread at all?? Go away troll.
Talking about MX in regards to sleds is about like talking about trucks in regards to bikes. My comment about the 300 was a joke, I'm a trail rider where the 300 shines, I could care less about track riding. MX is a fake, contrived class system that created a system where the 4 stroke was the better machine because they tossed a machine double the size in the same class. Had they not put 450's with 250's, the 4 strokes would be looked at for what they are... heavy machines that require 2x the size to make the same power.
Either way, the conversation WAS about the next step after the Suzuki, and as two of us mentioned, we both feel a somewhat smaller motor that started out boosted (like the t660, but with the intention of being a mountain machine powerplant) would allow us to be competitive WITHOUT putting a motor from another company in a different sled.
11t, I feel that to be competitive they could get away with 150 HP EASILY if the weight was closer, and that would get many people in the door. Being the mountain market, IMO you show people the ability to make the same power at elevation like the 11T does, but without the HUGE weight penalty of current machines... and they'd sell like hotcakes. The market is moving toward technical riding more & more, and if you give people a real option that competes with the 800s weight wise, it would be a great machine.
