: 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

: 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.
