I honestly think if stewart was on a 4 stroke he would have won easily. He is makin that 125 go as fast as it will possibly go...

It takes so much more work to make that 2 stroke run at that pace, too.
@TheShepdawg93 жыл бұрын
That's such an ill-advised comment. James chose the two stroke. He didn't have to ride it. He believed he was faster on it than the 250f.

Bubba was a goddamn razor on that 125. So sad that the two strokes were kinda phased out of racing... I love my four strokes, but that whine was one of the best sounds in motocross.

i love how people say "that things got one of them powerbands dont it" lol. every engine has a powerband. a power band is the horsepower-to-rpm arc peak where the engine produces the most horsepower, but it's more noticeable on a 2stroke because the arc is so steep that the power hits you all of a sudden out of nowhere. and also if you take a 2stroke and 4stroke both with the same displacement, the 2stroke will always have more power. thats why they built a 250 4stroke to beat the 125 2strokes

Stewart could ride that 125 way over it's capabilities. Not like the 450's which he can sometimes let get the better of him. I remember some races where he posted faster lap times on the 125 than the 250/450 guys were. That included Ricky and Chad. Roncoda became addicted to pain pills (or something like that) and retired from racing. Now he works for a software company. I really liked his riding though. BRINGBACKTHE2SMOKE!!

A top-notch nail-biter indeed! But the fact that James Stewart wins races with 4-strokes as well only proves that the rider is the biggest factor in motocross performance. What's that? He was on a 125 while the rest of the field was on 250's? Never mind.

Its sad for sure to not see the 2 strokes out there on the highest level, but rumors and talk have the last months been about 250 2 strokes going to compete in the 250F nationals, but it´s not going to be that way, cause Kawasaki dont have a 250 2 stroke anymore, Either do Honda, either do Suzuki, The japanese factories have to start making them again if that should be a statement. But long live the 2 stroke :) anyway! True mx fans love the 2 strokes!
@mikebrown4118215 жыл бұрын
Excactly, The procircuit had the 250f , and their bike was on the dyno , stronger for sure. but still james bike was tuned for him and it was a factory race machine, he could ride a 125 to it´s full potential , like no one else could back then, when he rode a 250 F at glen helen same year he said, was i even racing out there , so much better was hes thought about the 250F power. But as a fan of motocross, i admit i loved to see the 250F got smoked by a 125 2 smoke!
