85 vs 86 tri-z

[Bryan Raffa]

yes my 5 speed is faster than my six speed... my 86 Mx bike has a 5 speed tranny..

Back in the day the six speed was faster on a "Kid's Bike" .. meaning- short,stock,mr-501 tires,gearing, lenght,etc... the 5 speed would "run out" ..
But in 200-500 Ft. the 5 speed is the way to go
i have pic's of 1985-86 ATC's in front of the TRI-Z's at TOP Speed in like a 4 mile run
