My old 300 seemed way slow when I rode it back to back with my friends new, fresh, perfectly tuned 250 YZ but a drag race with him told a different story. He jumped me a bike length off the line but from there it looked like we were chained together till the Yamaha tapped out in 5th gear. At that point I shifted to 6th and left him in my dust. Had my engine been as fresh and well tuned as the YZ the gasser would have really embarrassed it.
