    @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.

                            @declan Yeah right, KDX's were poo! I think that number has been massaged slightly. But you know, not impossible figure.

                                @declan Old 89 ones being 36. Definitely not then lol.

                                I dunno, I could be talking absolute brown. I've been on a 1991 KDX125 and it wasn't exactly savage. And they reckon they are 24bhp. Which again I doubt.

                                But as said, long time ago and I have no reference any more.

                                  @calum but you believe a crm is 30 bhp and a Yamaha dt 20 bhp? How is that difference even possible?

                                    @irongamer727 well you gotta understand that bikes aren’t always in competition with each other it’s just the way it is for example a ktm 525 I thought would be a beast but it’s no where near as fast as any 450 not that I’ve ridden either bikes

                                        @declan huh? A Ktm 530 is most definitely faster than a Ktm 450. More torque and more power and basically the same weight.
