Agreed

well you never said the race was gonna be that short, that changes everything. try racin him in a longer race. he would end up smokin you. unless your lyin to us in the fact that you say your raptor is stock. and is it a rm250 or a rmz250. that would change every thing too


I don't care if it was a 10 foot race, a person that knows how to ride a MX bike will be a ahead from when they first take off.

That goes for a RMZ250 to.

he evens races motorcross so he new what he was doing.


Tell your buddy to either get his bike fixed or learn how to ride it. Did he have it running or was he pushing it?

it wouldn't matter if it was a 250 2-stroke or 4-stroke. the dirtbike will beat the raptor hands down everytime. I have a few friends that ride motocross and ive rode down gravel roads with my buddy on his yz250f and me on my pred and there isn't any comparison...the dirtbike is by far faster.

bigned, ur friends bike has got to go well over 100mph thats just insane

Posted by: crazy1291

dude i bet a crf/kx-f/rm-z/yz-f/sx-f 250 would still destroy most or all stock quads (i have no idea how strong 700r's 450r's and 525s are)

I drove my friends crf250r and yz250f, and it was insane fast for what im used to, i got back on my little quad, and i was thinking "Is it broken? why does it feel so slow all of a sudden?"

ya those 125 two stokes and 250 4 strokes are still pretty quick. just think if you got on a big bike. like a crf450. my boy with like a $12,000 crf450 will take almost any machine out being a quad, truck, buggy no maddetr what you have done to it. ive seen him take out a twin turbo ls1 buggy on the gordens wells sand drags.


so is that 12k invested or 12k after mods?

RM-250 not a doubt. Friend of mine put an RM250 motor in a blaster and it hauled a$$! Beat ds-650's all the way including top end. the RM blaster was on 18" tires and was slippin and the ds had perfect traction. Now imagine that in the weight of a dirtbike. RM all the way. if you want to see the RM blaster it is..

I think it would be very Close but the raptor would get ahead RM 250 are not ment for drag racing they are ment for motocross

Posted by: OutLawRider17

We all know that the RM 250 would win.

Posted by: bigal32690

who would win in a drag between a raptor 660r and a rm250 both stock and riders the same weight also on dirt

DID THE GUYS WITH THE BIKE HAVE A BACK TIRE ON? DID HE KNOW HOW TO SHIFT? DO YOU HAVE A BUSA 1300 in that quad?if those 3 q's are no then if he rides motocross and got beat by a quad he must just get tore up at the track.

Posted by: bigned1904

i mean the first two no.

12k after mods. he has done minor engine work, dialed in the suspestion. he is a great rider though.

Posted by: bigned1904

also you have to know the gordens sand drags (they have a lot of whoops).thats how he got him.

Posted by: KXnSHEE

yeah, a Rm250 would leave a raptor in its dust even if it was loosing traction.
