What ever happened to that 150cc displacement movement looks like it got as far as Honda and stopped there,maybe the rest of the factorys could never get there 150 4s started!I always wanted to see a true 125 4 stroke if 4 strokes were going to be AMA's future. A cousin of mine had a pretty tricked out SL100 with lots of Poweroll influence it was a pray for rain race day bike

: True dat. It's smart of JS to chill and keep
: it on two wheels, because he sure lost a lot
: of motocross and supercross titles by racing
: like a tweaker - fast, but a roving soil
: sampler.
:
: Villo beat all the 450s by over a minute at
: the MXdN before he got hurt, and he set
: fastest time a few times this year. When he
: moves to the 450s and starts pressuring
: Stewart, I would think that Stewart would
: have a lot in reserve, as you say. Stewart
: is riding smarter than he used to, and with
: all his experience and his newfound ability
: to slow down, finish every moto and win
: championships, he's had the chance to settle
: down and get used to the
: championship-winning pace. Since he's gotten
: more consistent, he knows his limits better,
: and he's ridden at that level all year. When
: he decides to push the ragged edge again,
: he'll have this consistent season behind
: him, he'll be more ready for the task of
: berserking the ragged edge and he'll know
: when and where to put his neck on the line
: and when and where to ride for points.
:
: Any of those guys - Dungey, RV or Stewart -
: could be the dominant 450 rider in two
: years. It's always interesting to see which
: NMA riders (and others) wind up being the
: fast guys in the two classes. Hopefully
: somebody will come along to push Stewart
: back up to that ragged edge. Looks like the
: 450s will be a snoozefest until that
: happens.
:
: Remember how the AMA degraded the 125 (250
: four stroke) class to be less important than
: the 250 class? These lap times show that the
: 125 (250 four stroke) riders can match the
: speed of the premier class.
:
: I think smaller riders should spend their
: time in the smaller displacement classes, to
: take advantage of the power-to-weight ratio.
: In a way, making the larger displacement
: class the premier class discriminates
: against small or short people. The class
: where a small rider would have an advantage
: is demoted to apprentice status.
:
: Maybe they should make a rule that the
: fastest lap time of the day gets extra
: points or something. Might get Stewart to
: pick up the pace.

: A few thimgs here - RV and Dungey are
: fighting
: for there lives moto in and moto out. -
: Stewart was riding for a perfect season on
: cruise control,he did eay he was nervous
: after the series was over just trying to
: keep it on 2 wheels.- No one is there to
: push JS.- Motocross class is always the 2nd
: moto track rougher.-Remember when JS was on
: the KX125 and people were comparing his lap
: times to RC on the 450.- I am willing to bet
: JS has a lot left in reserve. Hell make them
: a ride 250f's

: Villo did it again, quickest lap time.
: Dungey
: 2nd. Best 450 time was Stewart in 3rd among
: lap times. I hope Villo can keep up the good
: work when he gets on 450s.
