There have been so many of these posts lately, that I just have to comment. Post usually starts as "I have a 325 Widget, and my buddy Bubba has a 331 Gidget. Bubba wants to drag race, but I need to know whether or not my Widget will beat his Gidget first, because if Im not going to beat him, I dont want to race."
All I wish to say, is just go do it, and shut up already! Why debate for days what can be settled in a couple of minutes? Is the idea of losing a drag race so devastating that backing out is more fulfilling? If you cant go out and ride with your buddies, and have a great time, win or lose, then sell your ride and play golf alone so you can cheat if necessary! Among seasoned, experienced riders of all kinds, youll gain a lot more respect by what you can do with your ride, than how fast it will go, anyways. When you climb "The Widowmaker" with your 125cc Widget that Bubba was too chicken to try on his 331 Gidget, people will be lot more impressed, even if you didnt make it, than they will be by the fact that Bubba beat your 125 on the drag strip with his 331. If you want to drag, then go do it, and tell how things turned out. Your likely to get some real surprises. The "this will beat that" debates are so silly anyways, because in the real world, there arent very many consistant answers to that discussion, unless its a total mismatch.
