RM500/LT500R Quad Racer Motor Debate Revisited...

[MR ATC]

beam me up scotty they still believe image is everything...

MrATC, not sure what you meant by that...

I'm not in the "Who won/Who lost" this RM500 engine debate argument. I liked TimSr's example of the Democrats especially the addition of Al Sharpton. It was classic!

As for the engine, do I believe your were right.... Yes! Even before I looked up the article I was with you that it was an RM500 motor UPDATED for use in a Quad Chassis. And just because it was never a production US Liquid Cooled RM500 motorcycle doesn't mean it was not based heavily on the RM engine.

But I also believe Darius made good points after-all, it was an all new engine to the US Market.

You could make the same argument about the Tecate4 motor. Different, Yes. But remove all the bells and whistles for the Quad and it's still a KX250 based motor.

:-D

nothing on you Jeb i just find it amazing people are more concerned with what appears right vs. what is right.

By the way Tim Sr. you say i "lost" the debate still havn't figured that one out since i'm right and there was no time limit as to when (or how) the proof was provided. i wonder if not only dose your TRI-Z have Tecate envy with all the gayglow (oops i mean day glow) green on it. But you yourself Have MR ATC envy

Darious where ya been buddy have not heard from you on all this. still pulling your foot out of your mouth... ...jk

C'Mon DX, your supposedly new to this board, and all you came here to do is spew anger and hatred? This is a spirited debate, all done in fun. Feel free to chime in with your own opinion, but theres no need to be mean or get nasty about it!

Blaze... the debate was should someone trade a 250R for a Quad 500. my position was that the 500 quad was just a rm500 motor detuned for the quad and even as a rm 500 was the weakest of the big two stroke 500's...i was told i was wrong but we now know the truth right Darious,Tim,Basket...

Trade a 250R for an LT500R......are you crazy?

I would take a mint 86 ATC250R over a mint 1990 LT500R any day. Much more USEABLE power.

The 500 is sweet but the 250 revs real nice! When it comes down to it...its the rider.

The 250r is a good bike, But in terms of usable power the quadracer 500 certainley has it beat. The powerband is wider, stronger, and comes on smoother.

....I nixed DX's nonsense - everything was civil untill he crossed the line. By the way, I can see by your IP addy, you're not "new" to the board......
