...because nothing brings out the stupid better than a 100-HP dirt bike.

600-lbs dirt bike? Excuse me, but you must have mistaken my KTM for a piece of shit overweight BMW.

BTW, can your pussy ass dirtbike do 100MPH plus on or off road?

well I hit 85 on my DRZ on gravel/dirt roads... it's got 39hp...

and the Dakar 650 I followed hit 95... but didn't want to leave me...

(all GPS readings for speed)


but yes... a CRF450 or a RMZ450 will hit 100mph easy

Yea I was gonna say that my '04 DRZ would do 80 mph no problem... Granted, it's not 100 mph but for the $8,000+ and couple hundred pound difference he can have the extra 20 mph!!!

shit you could throw in a 470 stroker kit and hit 50 or 60hp... 100mph would be EASY.


not knock'n on the 990.... it's a kick ass bike... but if you're talk'n about speed there are lighter more agile bikes that'll do that.

Probably if it was geared for it but not with OEM gearing.

Carry a load, passing semitrucks on freeways too?

Yeah, that's what I thought.
