I think the way to compare them is the times they run in the actual races. Remember, when the 250's qualify the track isn't as beaten in.

Rutherford:
Compare the fastest 250 lap time(J Martin) to Ryan Villopoto. Martin 56.745, Villopoto 54.693. Second fastest lap for a big bike was Barcia at 54.931. Bogle(the 250 winner) as I recall was second fastest lap for the 250's was 57.052. More than two seconds a lap slower than the big bikes under race conditions.

What if we put the lights riders on 450's and RV and the likes on the lites... same results?

Lol. So the 250's are or are not as fast or faster than the 450's ?? Or what was it you said?

Please note that I included 4th place finisher against 1st and second too.

The 250's are as fast if not faster most nights.

Years back Dirt Rider did a test with the same riders on the a 250f, 250 2t, and a 450 on several different tracks, only at Glen Helen was the 450 faster than a 250f, the 250 2t was the slowest of all.
For every rider.

I think if you check the race times yourself and now, you will see that the 450's are running faster times in the races pretty consistently. But it makes for nice conjecture.

I have never seen or read that test. Please post it. I highly doubt that they all were slower on the 250 2t. :prof:
