That race is all the rider and their endurance and how few problems the teams happen to run into. Honda won last year with that pile 3 speed automatic 650 thing they call their top utility ATV. A race is most cases is all in the driver/rider.

Well depends on what races you're doing...some races it's rider some it's machine. Desert racing I'd say is about 25% machine 75% rider, that's just my personal opinion. If you don't have a fast well-suspended machine, someone is gonna pass you, but at the same time you have to have endurance to deal with the heat and everything else that will affect you.

i agree with ssj3goku. anyway...its great that we have so many great quads to choose from these days. just a few years back our choices were very limited!

TRX for Harescrambles and Desert (Hey...it won the Baja 1000 before it was even available to the public)

How many of you believe that the machine the won the baja is the same one you get when you go buy one at your dealer?

... I hear ya Tim, totally ..... I do have to say though, I remember reading in DW that Rincon 650 that won the Baja was almost completely stock except for lighting and tires.

i just re-read that article no too long ago. i think the modified it. i'll have to re-check. might of been just the airbox.

[REDMAN225]

yeah ..they modified the carb, airbox,exhaust and suspension. they also added a different cam and taller gearing. they also removed all the 4wd components.

Just about...

The 450R had the stock shocks, A-arms, S-arm, and Frame as far as I know of (mabey exhaust/engine...cant remember :? )



And Goku...IMO...its 50/50 rider/machine. Those machines have to put up with 1000 miles of foot deep ruts, 7000+ RPM's, bone jarring rocks, and all that dust.
