Wonder what speeds he had it to on those back roads. Thinking

Nice video though. Thumbs Up

That did leave me with a very big grin, and I'm not normally particularly keen on the 2 stroke sound. Very Happy

It's not a vid. that I made myself.
It's not even my bike (I wish it was Wink

)
The link was given to me by a friend.

I do have actually a verry similar video of my own RD500.
It's a shame that it is about 80 mb so I can't post is here on this forum.
On the other hand the resolution of my vid. is almost DVD quality...
If anybody got space to hoast it please send me an PM Razz

The spec isnt that impressive?? Times have changed, We're not working on the 2t having almost twice the power over a 4t anymore.

562cc 'racetuned' and it produced 127BHP. Yes a 4 stroke doesnt do that but it isnt 'that' far behind. Actually saying that, I'd expect a highly tuned 600 to get close to that...

Only thing it has on it's side over a standard 750+ 4t is the weight. He doesnt say how much it weighs, I'd assume it's more than a standard RS250 (Which is???)

Back in the day the 2 stroke would have weighed a lot less than a for stroke. Now days the 4 strokes are catching up.
The RS250 weighs 141kg's.
Lets say the RS500 weighs 166kg (rg500's weight), and makes 127hp.
That gives the RS500 a power to weight ratio of 0.765 hp/kg.
Now lets take an 2002 R6 for example. Weighs 170kg and makes 120 hp. Giving it a power to weight ratio of 0.705 hp/kg.
I would still take the RS over the R6 just for the smell. Very Happy

Mark Dent gets 145bhp at the rear wheel out of a 570cc RG motor, and his bike still using the RG500 chassis is said to weigh around 135kg. that's such a loads better power to weight ratio than any 4stroke Nasp bike out there!
Also this should mean at least 160bhp at the crank, so its really really close to a GP500 bike!

Another nice movie of an RS250 with RG500 engine

2-stroke heaven. Can't beat that scream! Clapping

hairychipstic... · Nitrous Nuisance Joined: 05 Dec 2004 Karma :

he claims the weight of that rs at 130kg also
a 01 r1 stock has about 128bhp at the wheel and about 67lb/ft of torque
that has 127 and 70, and weighs lots less and it delivers it within a tiny powerband,
it wudnt be a comparable experience
also
another thing is road going 2 strokes tend to rev quite low to keep reliability up, rgv redlines at 11,500 and it makes about 58bhp at the wheel
a 400 revs to 15000 to produce the same type of power, a cbr250 revs to 18500 to get 40bhp, a 2 stroke 250 revvin to 18500, well u cud expect a whole shit load more than 40bhp Smile

Meh wasnt impressed with his riding, or his bike that much. Almost seemed like stock rs 250 performance.

Cant believe how little risk taking he would do, even for a video.

And not a single wheelie Crying or Very sad
