I'd really love to meet this guy that's faster than Baggett, who rides a PC Kawi and is the current points leader, on a 125. :lol: Listen to yourself for a second.

A big part of the issue is the track before the jump and the available space for acceleration. If you have never been on one, a 125 two stroke has more power than you might think when you are on the pipe. I believe that it may even be a little more than a 250f. However, that is only at high revs. At other rpm's than the peak hp a 250f will make more power. At low revs the difference is considerable.


This is where the track comes in. There is not all that much space to build up the needed speed. You are not going to be at those peak revs the whole time between the corner exit and the lip of the jump. There will be a speed advantage to the 250f compared to a 125 smoker in that limited space.

One advantage that Baggett has is his comparative small size. Less weight means more acceleration.
