Dt170 vs ktm exc 125

[NINJA]

@calum OK sound reasoning, but forget all that and just imagine a straight drag race over a 1/4 mile. Which bike would take the honours ???

[Calum]

@ninja Surely the Aprilia has better top end. A drag race hardly seems fair.

To be fair, way back when, I was out with my brother.

I was on my DT, my brother was on his RS.

We came across a KTM and he absolutely decimated it. But there's nothing to say that the KTM wasn't about to give up the ghost.

@calum The 1/4 mile 'Drag race' is just to give it a set start and finish point, aka from one set of lights to another street race.

this one is a crap comparison the RS with no rave valve feels like it has no balls till its going I like the DT pinned but the RS pinned nooo way its crap

[Calum]

@ninja Oh deary me Ninja. How embarrassing for that KTM Ey?

I was not expecting that.

[Calum]

@terry-tz You can even get Pneumatic valves for those engines.

So it's not electronically controlled. A spring adjusts its opening RPM. And it just pops open lol

[terry.tz]

@calum I would prefer the controller to be honest but I when my blade broke I pinned mine it lasted a few days before I was fed up with it like that and released it closed again I would rather be stuck to 80mph than put up with a gutless bike

[Calum]

@terry-tz Lol. Yeah been there made.

[NINJA]

Well this is an interesting video;

@ninja the question is where the Dt is?

[scrimsmustang]

Husqvarna Husaberg TM 125 they will a piss all over a DTR, The fastest 125 trail bike I have come across by far is the Honda CRM that makes a DTR seem like a 50 lol with or without a 170 kit or a WR200 engine the CRM will piss all over a DTR200 or WR200 once derestricted.

[Calum]

I gotta get myself that Honda lol

[scrimsmustang]

@calum I sold it to a shop in Lancashire called Bikeonic for 2100 fook knows how much they want for it though.

[scrimsmustang]

They bought my TSR aswell, also better than a DTR in my opinion, handle better 10 times better brakes and suspension but cant touch the CRM lol

[Calum]

@scrimsmustang Lol. I believe it coming from you. If anyone else said it I'd have thought they were just bashing the DTR lol.

It's not as pretty as the DTR or honda though.

[Irongamer727]

@scrimsmustang don't think it will win over a wr200 but you're right, they are powerful. I Wonder how Honda manages to squeeze out 30 bhp and how Yamaha only ~20 bhp. Seems odd.

@irongamer727 just researched the Kdx 200 36hp that’s crazy
