  • I race my 1998 Honda cr250 against my 2001 Kawasaki kx250. My brother Charlie rides my cr250 for the first race and then we switch bikes for the second race. The outcome is pretty crazy!

      yeah, but in a long straight road the Honda cr 250 would win over the Kawasaki kx 250 any time. But I the woods and the track, then it's about the rider.

      Todd McDonald Yeah, when you're doing straight. If you deny that, you obviously haven't been to a drag race. Every little thing you do is trying to beat that clock. Whether it be take off, shifting, or just the position of your body. It takes the rider to make that bite go fast. And no matter where you are, the rider is the one that won wake that bike win the race...

    Put same sprocket size on both bikes. You need to even out the playing field before you say the CR is faster.

    • @sethh8892
      @sethh8892 6 років тому +7

      Adam Heppner They're making a race to see which one is faster, If you want to make them both perfectly equal bikes you might as well buy 2 kxs or 2 of the hondas... Whole point of having a race is to see which one is faster... Not to have 2 identical bikes in the same race... then its just down the which rider is best... And at that point it doesn't matter, Because every rider is a little different.

    That KX sounds very tired, I've got a 03 KX 250 that runs great and it sounds NOTHING like the KX in this video. And yes just 1 or 2 tooth difference will definitely change the outcome. I suggest redoing the top end and then race them on a Motocross course and see what the outcome is.

    There must be something wrong with the kx. And you guys do know all 250's and 450's are usually 5 speed right. 5 speeds aren't stupid,.

    • @dirtbagian

  • @xxnickthegreekxx
    @xxnickthegreekxx 6 років тому +10

    If the kx has a 51t and cr has a 49t rear sprocket then it’s not going to be a fair race both bikes need to be running same final drive

    • @salvadordollyparton666
      @salvadordollyparton666 5 років тому

      If that were true, it shoulda been the one pulling on low end. The reeds and pipe make way more difference than one size up sprocket. And it's lack of 6th gear, I had no idea kx's didn't have 6th. Why ANY bike built after like 95 wouldn't have 6 gears is beyond me. Including xr's and quads. Only thing that ever gave a warrior an edge over my 400 was an extra gear. But I usually smoked em anyway.

    • @jacobrollo7914
      @jacobrollo7914 4 роки тому

    You babied the throttle on the kx at the start. You should’ve for sure been ahead of him when you guys started. That sprocket is smaller so it picks up speed faster but then in the long run the Honda would’ve started catching up. It should’ve been way closer

    • @ccpm8049
      @ccpm8049 5 років тому

      Cr 500 is aggressive the way it accelerates much less if you do any work. Both the cr and the kx 500s are good. I prefer the cr because I love how it just puts power down and will flip straight over if your not careful. Would make a decent bike with a stretched swing arm to do the 8th mile strip. Had a 400ex fixed up and have been clocked at 96mph in the 8th. So I have no doubt a 2stroke with 100ccs more would do every bit of 110mph maybe 115mph

    I'm no KX fan...but those bikes from 98- early 2000's had tons of power! And a better engine than that CR. The CR is a mid to top end engine and geared higher. Put a 48 tooth rear on that KX and it'll win every time. With that said, they're too tall, too wide and feel top heavy. Ergonomics suck! They feel like they were built for an NBA player.

    When I was growing up I had a 95 cr250 with a 48 rear sprocket, reeds and a fatty pipe that ate up kx's. Raced a 97 kx250 with reeds and a 49 sprocket killed it, beat a 01 kx250 with a big bore and reeds dont remember the pipe and a 50 sprocket and an 05 kx250 all stock besides a narly pipe. Never had any kx come close to beating my CR closest race was the 01 kx but still got it by half a bike. Held her wide open and banged the gears never used the clutch and never lost to anything but a 450 4 stroke.

    97 and 98 cr 250’s are the best old two strokes!! Ktm rules everything now but for the Honda 250 it’s prime!!

    Drag racing like that requires very little skill, and is only one small dimension of what a bike can do. Take those bikes in tight or technical terrain and that KX will leave that CR in the dust!

    Something not right with the Kawasaki, my dad had a 2001 Kx 250 as well and it did 130kph , did 125kph no problem, I’m not saying one should be faster then the other but it should be way more close than that
