Just so you know, fast refers to speed, while quick refers to time in a drag race. Not that it matters when you compare the two. The X will still lose to a 3rd gen R in a drag race barring unforeseen mistakes or mechanical failures.

Man don't force me to get all super technical. I already got more technical than I even wanted to
I just wanted to know which one ACCELERATED faster.
Sounds like hands down 250R (as expected.)
But now I am curious to see the thoughts on the Tecate 250 Vs 250R. And it sounds like this is gonna be good LOL!

Maybe he’s your long lost twin. Let’s check. Does your edit button work? How often do you buff your helmet?

LOL my edit button works fine.
I rarely WEAR a helmet
I don't buff the helmet, or even really clean it much.
BUT... I am super OCD about my actual machines, and wash them as soon as they get any dirt etc. on them.
Maybe he is just my long lost cousin then? heh heh.
Does he look like this? (me)

I own every year Tecate and each generation of the R, and can tell you the Tecate will out accelerate the R in stock form. If you read the comparisons from back in the day they will tell you the same thing. The Tecate--especially the 84/85--has a big hit and leaves you hanging on for dear life. The R has a more mild and smooth power delivery. The Tecate doesn't have a counterbalancer--nor does the Tri-Z--which gives them a more untamed feeling. As far as top speed I'd say the R might have a bit of an edge. It's got a 6 speed and it's a tall 6th, and the Tecate only has 5. These comments don't apply to modified machines. In fact, I was riding my modified 86 R just a few hours ago and thinking it will hang with my modified Tecates.

We really shouldn't expect a reply for a few more days, he probably hasn't even started writing the 4th chapter yet.

The porting layout of a stock Tecate is a big reason why its faster than a 250r. Kawasaki did some weird stuff back in the day though. It took them awhile to figure out where the headlight should be. Where the radiator should be, and did they ever figure out how to make it kick forward ?
