With the WSX in town and a couple of the boys deciding to stay and enjoy the Gold Coast post race, it was the perfect time to smash out a couple pods. In this Chapter of the podcast we were lucky enough to be joined by one of the legends of the game, Filthy Phil & long time factory wrench Ben Schiermeyer! These guys are a wealth of knowledge in the sport and it was super fun to sit down for a few hours of BS'n in the wake of the Australian Supercross GP.

I'd get a Yamaha 350 in heartbeat

@jpesicka999 Год назад

ya, check out some of the 270 builds out there. pretty inexpensive to do, preferably a 2020 model would be the best to do it on imo, can be had for around $6k and the mod is like $500.

I’m not sure Yamaha could keep up with the demand if they offered a YZ350F. It’s totally amazing to me that the Japanese MFG’s only provide the public with what they want to sell and not what the public wants to buy! Every Japanese manufacturer should at a minimum make a 125 two stroke and a 350 4-Puke!

@benferguson1762 Год назад

When you are able to ride the 350 like a 250, it is brilliant. The better ability to stop, change lines and just ride a lot looser makes it faster.....just look at what happened when Josh Moz compared all 3 and went 2sec a lap faster on the 350 at My St Helen of all places.

@woodman4989 Год назад

I put a Red Moto 300 kit in my 23 CRF250RX and now I must say it’s perfect. It’s all about money and the assembly line. If they made a 350 now, they would be admitting they made a mistake not doing it years ago. The Japanese are very stubborn.

@TheShifty450 Год назад

Fuckin crazy idea.... just knock some of the power out of the 450 and bam! Makes absolutely zero sense to retool and re design a motor to go backwards

@waynegarfield6607 Год назад

Not much to retool a piston and boresize. Everything else is identicle. However one of the points isnt just the power or weight difference between the 450 and 350 but the way it feels/ handles due to lighter spinning masses inside the engine, crank, counter weights , piston....the added weight overall is minor but the way it reacts by the physics of rotating mass and inertia ( resist to changes in angle, direction and accelerating,/ deaccelerating are massive.

@Wreckage72 Год назад

You know it’s interesting, the top level of the sport still requires homologation in order to race. But, what if the 450 turned into the f1 / motogp bike of motocross and then opened up the r&d flood gates figuratively. Then the top level retail sold bikes would go more towards a 350. It’s not gonna happen but it would be an interesting turn in the sport. I don’t need to own whatever bike Sexton or Anderson can ride at their max. But I’d also want to see how far budgets could push those exact bikes too. My stock 350sxf is ideal for me, but I don’t need it to be the same as the pros ride either.

I agree... 450 is overkill for most weekend warriors. Listen carefully to a 450 AMA Pro SX race and notice the bikes are not really being used to their full potential (you won't hear those bikes being revved out too much, because those tracks are so tight and the bikes have so much power. In many AMA Pro Nationals, yeah, you can hear that they are utilized more (like with Larocco's Leap). Remember when Doug Henry premiered a four-stroke in the AMA pro ranks, and won? That was on a 400. Today's bikes are faster/better. Also, look at how well Antonio Cairoli (Tony) did on a KTM 350 against 450's in his career in the MXGP's? Often he even got the hole shot. 350's are no joke. My new KX 450 is a scary bike and I'm replacing it before I kill myself on it (already caused severe injuries to my dumb ass).

How about a twin cylinder mxer for hp. .supermoto. if yamaha bulit a twin 900 from 2 450 cylinders, dumped it in a snowmobile, 4 wheeler, adventure bike, hyper moto they would sell shit tons of units. If they made a twin 509 from 2 250s and made a mxer, off road, supermoto and generl vet/ playbike same thing. Be different, be creative, originality is avoided at the expense of conservatism. Think outside the box....doesnt have to be the lightest, best mxer to sell. .the fun factor alone would do it. Hence the 350 KTM ....even tony knew it was harder to win on than a 450 at that level. But only he and maybe a dozen other earthlings can ride a 450 at that level to use that extra power. 99% of us can go betrer, longer ,faster on a bike with usable tamer power. Imagine a twin off road bike with over 100 hps but is linear because of high rpm and torque / hit isnt as strong as a 450 single. I would buy one in a heartbeat. In MXGP twins are legal.
