Horsepower ratings?

A KX500 on std gearing will maybe hit 70mph as it only revs to 7500rpm. A 450 will do 90mph and roost in your face on one wheel.

My 81 Maico 490 did 80mphish with 52 rwhp. Early to mid 80's KTM495's did 100+mph, I think the 86 495 was/is the fastest MXer ever

Only 500cc two stroke dirt bike that will run to 100mph is either a wide ratio model with six gears or has huge sprockets on it. Trust me. I've beach raced them all.

Yeah I had that Dirtbike mag as a youngin from the time. Interesting to see the gearing they were running. I used 16/38 or 16/36 on my KX's depending on the circuit. The 36 had the chain touching the sprocket mounting lugs on the hub.

But then again...I could be making it all up eh Stylo.

I used to beat KX500s on my KX80. The 80 must be faster!

500cc 2 stokes dont have a power band either. They are just like a big lazy 4 stroke but they dont they dont rev. They dont feel fast to ride

Think you'll find he can ride anything way harder than you'd ever dream of doing Sonny...

Crasher, don't feed the trolls - Stylo's only on here cos his missus left him.
Look closely at those VMX pics and you'll see wankstains on his KX - of course these are only visible cos it never leaves the garage.

I've seen this carrotspanker pretend to post thoughtfully when all he wants is to start an argument about how great his old big 2Ts are.

5 bucks says he wears Lacoste shirts and pops his collars
