[QUOTE="2smoke, post: 158963, member: 563"] I understand now what your referring too. Used to be years ago that MX had an open class for the 500CC bikes. But for what ever reason they stopped doing that. I guess maybe it just wasnt that successful. I mean a box stock 500cc bike makes quite a bit of hp. Now imagine what it would be after the sponsors got to it and souped it up like the pro's do now. I'd guess way more than 60 hp anyways. With all that power on tap and the way the 2T engine puts its power to the ground. It would probably be uncontrollable. Maybe thats why the AMA went with the 450's. Makes pretty good HP with the engine all souped up probably pretty close to 60 hp. And it puts the power to the ground in a manageable fashion. But even still you see these guys ground loop them and have the back end want to swap ends on them. So in light of this. Ive found its NOT all about the bike. Its about rider preference. What the rider wants or likes. Sure you can have a 500cc 2t aluminum frame monstrosity. But In pro type racing they dont allow it. So its really a mute point. [/QUOTE]
