acceleration comparison?
I'm just wondering what would be equivalent in acceleration against my yz 250 (2 stroke) dirt bike in the form of a road bike? i have a ninja 250 but no that my yz would tromp it hands down. Just wondering if anyone knows or has an idea.

Re: acceleration comparison?
YZ is great to about 80kms then most road bikes would run straight over the top of you.

Only a dyno shoot out would tell you the truth, but they develop power in diferent ways so it is a real mixed challenge

VZ 6lt Thunder ............. ohhh sorry "bike"
Mate the gearing on the YZ is completely different to the 250cc roadies plus being 2 stroke puts in into the 450-500cc 4 stoke class straight away.
The ally framed YZ 250 (non F) is one of the quickest around in it's class possibly only rivalled by the Katoom / Gasgas.
Drop the rear cog to say a 30T and you might be getting a more accurate comparison....
IMO a half decent RGV or better still Aprilia 2 fiddy would open your eyes up
