And to prove the point ,look at the top speeds of the modern 250 ,350 and450 , the 350 is way over geared ,who needs 83mph on a Mx track ?

Old Unadilla,  you might be able to reach 83mph in spots, but I agree,  it's not needed.

Geared wrong , ktm.messed up ,the 250 is easy to get right as it internal ratios are better , the 125 actually feels like it tops out a tad early which is how a 125 should feel ,or you don't get usable power

I think 65mph was the fastest recorded at ama outdoors last year ? Beech race around 100mph is possible ,almost STD gearing for 350 lol

Grew up in LA. Raced Indian Dunes, Escape Country, Carlsbad (once), and Saddleback... but before Suicide Mountain. The Dunes and EC had decent dirt.

Lighter bikes stop faster, less hp allows you to keep on the gas longer and less motor  inertia lets you do everything quicker.  

So why in God's name did you fight me on a 350 being better for sx?  You just liked to piss me off I think!

I actually was racing at Dilla in 97,98,99 it was a track only real men could do fast laps on them years. Now it's about who can whip there bike great again...

Lol not really but it ain't the flat landings you had no choice to do to get a good finish
