  • I race my 1998 Honda cr250 against my 2001 Kawasaki kx250. My brother Charlie rides my cr250 for the first race and then we switch bikes for the second race. The outcome is pretty crazy!

      @TopRevs 6 лет назад +13

      yeah, but in a long straight road the Honda cr 250 would win over the Kawasaki kx 250 any time. But I the woods and the track, then it's about the rider.

      Todd McDonald Yeah, when you're doing straight. If you deny that, you obviously haven't been to a drag race. Every little thing you do is trying to beat that clock. Whether it be take off, shifting, or just the position of your body. It takes the rider to make that bite go fast. And no matter where you are, the rider is the one that won wake that bike win the race...

    My first ride on a dirt bike was a old Kawasaki 250 back in the 90s. I was a quad rider and never had a 2 stroke. The first time I hit that power band I was addicted lol. All these years later I still ride a 2 stroke quad ( Polaris 400 scrambler )

  • @aheppner9750

    Put same sprocket size on both bikes. You need to even out the playing field before you say the CR is faster.

    • @sethh8892
      @sethh8892 6 лет назад +7

      Adam Heppner They're making a race to see which one is faster, If you want to make them both perfectly equal bikes you might as well buy 2 kxs or 2 of the hondas... Whole point of having a race is to see which one is faster... Not to have 2 identical bikes in the same race... then its just down the which rider is best... And at that point it doesn't matter, Because every rider is a little different.

      The reeds and pipe make more difference. A couple teeth will kinda even out. More low end, less top, vice versa.

  • @xanderrage9137
    @xanderrage9137 6 лет назад +15

    Ive owned both of these and the same years and the honda was quicker than the kwak. The KX was all bottom and mid but the honda was better right through the rev range. And night and day stronger in terms of build quality. That said, I liked them both

  • @Robert8455
    @Robert8455 6 лет назад +2

    You got a hell of a deal on both bikes. What do your neighbors say about racing in front of their houses?

  • @stephenflowers8516
    @stephenflowers8516 5 лет назад +5

    That KX sounds very tired, I've got a 03 KX 250 that runs great and it sounds NOTHING like the KX in this video. And yes just 1 or 2 tooth difference will definitely change the outcome. I suggest redoing the top end and then race them on a Motocross course and see what the outcome is.

    • @westonater

      The idle is too high on this kx it could be an air leak

  • @cfishing3979
    @cfishing3979 6 лет назад +9

    You babied the throttle on the kx at the start. You should’ve for sure been ahead of him when you guys started. That sprocket is smaller so it picks up speed faster but then in the long run the Honda would’ve started catching up. It should’ve been way closer

    • @danielbushman3420
      @danielbushman3420 3 года назад

      Smaller rear means more top speed bigger rear means faster acceleration

  • @xxnickthegreekxx
    @xxnickthegreekxx 6 лет назад +10

    If the kx has a 51t and cr has a 49t rear sprocket then it’s not going to be a fair race both bikes need to be running same final drive

    • @salvadordollyparton666
      @salvadordollyparton666 5 лет назад

      If that were true, it shoulda been the one pulling on low end. The reeds and pipe make way more difference than one size up sprocket. And it's lack of 6th gear, I had no idea kx's didn't have 6th. Why ANY bike built after like 95 wouldn't have 6 gears is beyond me. Including xr's and quads. Only thing that ever gave a warrior an edge over my 400 was an extra gear. But I usually smoked em anyway.

    • @jacobrollo7914
      @jacobrollo7914 4 года назад

      Jacob Greeson it is opinions but the way the bikes are made to I'm a Honda guy and I'd prefer the kx over the cr just the way you sit on the bike feels more controlable

    • @ccpm8049
      @ccpm8049 5 лет назад

      Cr 500 is aggressive the way it accelerates much less if you do any work. Both the cr and the kx 500s are good. I prefer the cr because I love how it just puts power down and will flip straight over if your not careful. Would make a decent bike with a stretched swing arm to do the 8th mile strip. Had a 400ex fixed up and have been clocked at 96mph in the 8th. So I have no doubt a 2stroke with 100ccs more would do every bit of 110mph maybe 115mph

    When I was growing up I had a 95 cr250 with a 48 rear sprocket, reeds and a fatty pipe that ate up kx's. Raced a 97 kx250 with reeds and a 49 sprocket killed it, beat a 01 kx250 with a big bore and reeds dont remember the pipe and a 50 sprocket and an 05 kx250 all stock besides a narly pipe. Never had any kx come close to beating my CR closest race was the 01 kx but still got it by half a bike. Held her wide open and banged the gears never used the clutch and never lost to anything but a 450 4 stroke.

    i like your vids bro but both bikes are 5 speeds so this 5 vs. 6 is a no go. something wrong with the kawi or your not short shifting it like it wants. you cant scream the gears out on the KX like you can on that year CR. 2 teeth is only about 4 mph on top but the internal ratios are not the same so it may be less.

    I like cr better but put same sprocket on kx and it would be jus as fast if not faster with the fmf pipe

      Does not anyone realize having a bigger rear sprocket will make you accelerate faster so the kx should have took off quicker. Guessing it was pretty clapped and or they're sandbagging to make cr win

    You know the Kawasaki is ment more for tork and then you guys take out the part when its at is fastest which is the start so kinda unfair

    people are getting salty that a cr is faster than a kx 🤦🏾‍♂️ n most of those people are people who own kx’s n just don’t like the fact that the bike they own is slower than another bike
