Keep your eyes on meetings and events - I have the inside gossip on the Rapa Sprints......could be a sub 250 class.

(That's sub 250cc, not sub 250kph - bet you Gixxer boys got excited then eh ?

)

my guess is that it wouldn't be very quick, kind of like if you extended the suspension on a busa by 200mm and shortened the wheelbase by 200mm, the problem is not in the power but trying to keep the front down. and of course the wind resistance by the time you get to 100kph+

keeping the front down is not too much of an issue..im a fat bastard.... just wanna know rough ET

with the right gearing you'll do a high 14 if your lucky....would expect a easy 15 though....

There was a CR500 in this lot http://www.cdd.co.nz/sprint/EastWest...ltsNov2004.htm 12.23 secs. A 250 would be slower I suppose so not hugely fast compared to the big road bikes.

It would depend on the gearing - you'd have to gear it right.Most MX bikes would be lucky to be geared beyond 140kph,they'd top out halfway down the strip.My DR230 with road gearing tops out at 165kph,you'd need to be geared for that at least.Maybe a change of bars would help.

and also the gearing would be up the whack... ud be maxed out about 1/8th mile lol

**Mattyc** · 17th August 2006, 14:05

ah yeah the gearing ..... lol 60foot time would be good tho well, ill have to take the zx9 down then

Sooo . . . you got another dirt bike eh?

**Mattyc** · 17th August 2006, 15:11

I told him i was gonna drag race it, roll bowl and arsehole it... he was like ok yeah whatever (disbeliver).. came off and bent the bars and broke the clamps on sunday.. which is a good start :P

Sweet, you're well on your way then. I looped the CR over backwards at Waterford MX track a couple of weekends ago. Only managed to snap the back mudguard off tho. Its amazing the beating they'll take and keep coming back for more.

Giz a yell next time you're heading out for a blast, I'll come join ya.
