    You should hop on Bergie Sanders and point that thing through a pile of rocks to see the non smokey side of that coin.
    How the fuck do you spell smokey?! My phone won't correct it, but it looks wrong.

    Usually not peak HP where the benefit lies in displacement. Mostly the added torque and ability to run a gear or two higher to be lower in the RPM range and tractor through things.

    Keep in mind that the two 2 strokes I think you are talking about, the CR and your current pumkin, were designed for two completely different disciplines. The CR was built for consistent high revs on an MX track and the 200 is made for tractoring through enduro/woods type terrain.

    Yes, physically smaller bikes would probably make more sense for a large portion of the population. Not sure it make business sense for companies to develop multiple sizes of subassemblies that make up the entire bike though. Keeping all of the frame sizes similar on the adult sized bikes allows companies to use the same parts across quite a bit of their product line reducing costs.

I'm only on this kick because everyone on NESR always recommends more power.
    I take a punched out xr100 and a new fi 450 to Duncan's little playground. Same setup to NH with some J-Day guys. We all swap bikes and always laugh at how capable/easy to ride the xr is. I 100% agree with you.

    Paul is too short, he CAN'T ride them all.

    (Sorry Paul, setup was too easy, couldn't resist. Feel free to roost me on the ice or dirt, wherever we meet next.)

    how's this for enabling... Dave right in town can get you one too. his son (NETRA AA racer) rode one at the dealer meeting and loved it. said it was a great all-around fun bike. even ripped it up the hill climb at Glen Helen.

    sounds like a winner. get that checkbook out, son!

    If the bike don't fit, you must acquit.

    Nah. Nothing that contentious.
    Besides, in this case, no matter your choice you're still riding a bike. With the other 2 clowns...well...you know.

    I would never reference that ever.
    Besides, can you call it a crash when it happens at walking speed?

    At what point do you stop caring about keeping track of each bus that backs over you?
