How fast does a FL250 Odyssey, FL350 Odyssey, and a FL400R Pilot go? I know the Pilot is the best but how is the FL250R?

 

250-45 to 50 MPH
350-55 tp 60MPH
400-60 to 70MPH?

The FL250 is the slowest(obviously), it has only front suspension, and is also aircooled. The 350 has rear suspension and is liquid cooled(I think). I would go for a 350 over the other 2 because the Pilot's can sell for anywhere from $6k-$9, while the FL350 will go for $3k or less.

 

new guy here... i know this is an old thread but im sure some people are still looking for this info.....

FL250: pull-start 250cc 2 stroke, air cooled, limited front suspension, not rear suspension, 45-50mph (1977-1984)
Super popular, so popular that they decided to come out with the 350 for 85

FL350: electric start 350cc 2-stroke, air cooled, simple front and rear suspension, 45-55mph (1985)
350 was popular as well, but had bugs so 85 was the only model year, they decided to completely re-work and redesign the entire thing for 89.

FL400 Pilot: Electric Start 400cc 2-stroke, water cooled, advanced long travel front and rear suspension, 55-75mph (1989-1990)
discontinued after sales dropped dramaticly due to injury and deaths related to crashes

I would not consider the suspension on the Pilot long travel. It has 2" more than the FL350 stock to stock. The rear is a different design, but has similar wheel geometry. The front trailing arm on the FL350 does not handle well compared tot he A-arms on the Pilot. The FL350s are quicker than a FL400 in a drag race. They both top out around 60 stock.

 

well, longER travel then the previous... i stand corrected as you can buy an aftermarket "Long" travel for them i guess.

Interesting to learn the 350 will beat out a 400 though... gearing different between them? the 400 should have a decent amount more power. hmmm, learn something new everyday i suppose.

I don't even check the email address I have configured for this site much which is why the late reply.

They both have an 80mm bore (with a Wiseco on the 350), but the Pilot has a longer stroke. The 350 will spin much higher RPMs so it can displace more per minute of run time. I used to have a tach on my 350 and it turned 9200 RPM.

There is a long travel conversion for the FL350 now as well. My Pilot and FL350 have the same A-arms on them with over 12" of travel.
