    @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 ???

    @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.

                  @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

                    @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

                            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.

                                    @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.

                                      @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.

                                          I doubt the crm has a genuine 30bhp. I've got a nsr125 with basically the same engine as the crm. Doesn't 'feel' that much faster than my dtr, wether that's just down to the gearing, as the nsr has alot longer legs.
