Sounds like it would be easier to put the DTR engine into a YZ250

No. YZ arms don't fit the DTR.

I went the other way and it wasn't good.

The final gear in the Belgarda TZR motor is really short. Revs barely dropped. I suspect you're meant to be gunning it along and tucked in behind the visor and this is its last attempt to get a few more mph. On the DTR I was doing 80 apparently. So...

Honda Civic EG6

It's purely the fact that it's low weight and turbo'd. It's competitive let's just say that.

Difference is, those B16s can be tuned to the moon, the 4EFTEs are running into issues around the 400hp mark. Gearbox is sketchy at 300+.

@Louis-DT-WR Not being funny, my Starlet wouldn't pull with four kids in it and that's actually a rapid motor. I mean it's no Skyline but it's still 133hp out of a 1.3 860Kgs from 1989.

@Darty Brakes? They just slow you down, don't worry about that.

I dislike KTM really. Too expensive and I am poor! I like Aprilia because you get a lot for the money.

I do like those KTMs though. Would love to drop a smoker engine into that chassis.

@Darty Yeah I dunno? Is it? Bit slow ain't they?

The KTM is lighter and makes more power.

God I dislike the new 4 stroke bikes/

Could get a 1989 Yamaha SDR200

Lighter and makes a smidgen less power, but would be much more smiles per miles. Bet it's faster too!

@Louis-DT-WR ive never been a fan of loud exhausts i prefer a good quality exhaust note

Agreed. I prefer quiet engines that make power. Turbo Flutter is a must.

Now an eargasm superbike inline 4 that's a win.

But I can't stand loud Hondas that make fack all power.

Get a KTM 300EXC

I would say KTM duke 390, but a decent 125 two stroke is faster...

I know it's not the same, but my RS is too loud for prolonged use without ear plugs. My ears are literally ringing from the noise. I am a sensitive lad though.

@SpookDog I think I just went to simplybearings.co.uk and ordered the stuff I needed from there.

So you're saying you can jet the bike better than Mr Yamaha?

If it needs doing then do it. If it doesn't then I doubt there is much to be gained.

Often it's said, better to use 100% of his 125 than 10% of his ZX.

Shouldn't do. RS 125 doesn't have that guide so must be surplus to requirements

@declan You seen mixed reality? That was next level

@Nottsbiker All about them 4 bangers now.

My brother recently moved off his 125 onto a ZX6R. He's used it a handful of times as he rocked up to mine on his Cagiva. What happened bro? Ahh Cagiva is more fun

@Minia I do need VR to be fair. I've never used a VR headset, but I think I would be so absorbed by racing games in VR.

@Minia I don't own or want to own a TV. So this doubles up as a TV. The desk has four presets so when you are sat on the sofa you can lower it down to eye level.

I can justify the cost because its the main feature of my living room and I bought it over twelve months. So it's like financed whip

I was eyeing up my Steam library and there isn't a single game that I want to install lol. But I wouldn't mind getting Forza Horizon.

Haha! Ruthless!

Actually amazing that you can 3D print parts!

I need to get myself a 3D printer. Can just imagine the hassle I could save!
