Default 250ex vs bayou 220

The 17 hp for the Bayou comes from Kawasaki. They published it for the 2000 model.
Engine bhp.
The hp for the 250EX comes from ATV Rider magazine, which did a dyno on the engine
a while back in a before and after mods test.
That was engine bhp too, BTW, not rear wheel horsepower.

smity, I have no idea if a 250EX can beat a z250. If it can then my Bayou can beat one
with ease. It is possible your brothers Bayou is just a dog, you know. And what years is
it? After 2000 they detuned them a bit, and quit publishing hp ratings.

You will note I am saying MY Bayou beat two 250EXs, not that ALL Bayous can beat
EVERY 250EX out there. Just my own experience.
Mine is stock, no mods of any kind. But it will pull wheelies in first and second
without even pulling back on the handle bars. Both 250s were stock, too.
