450s are stupid fast these days, especially for motocross. I actually like them off road because you can point and shoot and actually use the acceleration to get corner to corner without getting too crazy, but on a motocross track, the potential to carry soooo much speed makes all that power terrifying. You can ride basically any other bike all out on a moto track, but a 450 is a practice in restraint. One slip of the throttle and your off a jump sideways into orbit. Just my experience based on riding a '24 YZ450F, it was retarded fast compared to older 450s I've ridden. It wasn't just fast, it was so wildly responsive to throttle inputs. Just a tickle of throttle and it was wanting to GOOOO.
@rg807Ай бұрын
Part of what made 2 strokes so great is the real-time calculus a ride had to do to try and determine IF they are going to clear something. The fix: 250s for the Premier class, and 150s for the other.

No grates and ditch the start maps. Make them control the rpm and the clutch slip themselves. Right now Honda boys are just dumping the clutch. There is ZERO feeding of the clutch happening on the start with them and it shows compared to the guys who still have to manipulate the clutch to keep the front end down. Being able to hold the throttle on the stop and just dump the clutch on a grate with a hold down leads to the shit we have to deal with right now. Hold downs are fine. Grates need to go and electronics need to be limited. Period.

Staggered gate start. Design the gate mechanism so the gates on one side of the doghouse drop a fraction of a second before the gates on the other side. Several advantages: Fewer guys all trying to cram into the corner at once if they come in two groups, more incentive for better qualifying finish to get the first gate drop, more consistently keeping the top guys starting the race together at the front, etc. And I'm not really sure I see much of a downside that doesn't already exist with a full gate drop. Addresses some of the issues with the gate start while keeping it intact overall.

Maybe introduce a staggered start for the top ten, a one foot advantage for the top qualifier over the number two qualifier, and so on , to the tenth position then 11th on all be lined up equal. Friday riders could give thoughts on preferred position for gate one. Timed qualifying would not start from behind the starting gate.

250 class needs restriction plates like nascar. The difference between factory 250f power to weight and 450f power to weight is too minor. And we either need staggered starting gates, so 1st qualifier gate is 1/2 inch ahead of 2nd qualifier and so on OR doing the straight and corner to ALWAYS be tailored to inside gate and get gradually worse. You could still holeshot with a bad qually, but it will be much harder to do so. Also bring back a 125 series that runs different tracks on Sundays.

And funny enough, some major top players in this sport thought this was a bad idea, politicians and manufactures did not bother to listen to them, or the moto community. Here we are, two strokes are gone in motocross, but they are doing fairly well other branches of offroad, but limited to fewer manufactures that actually makes them.

@allmtbnzscottbrownhill2896 who? Maybe the 250s but look at the most recent austin forever interview. He even said the 450s are too powerful and you have to map them down because if not you don't get traction. It's all tire spin because there's too much power. If you can't get the power to the ground it's pointless. That's why all the factory teams spend endless hours and money mapping and perfecting these engines. There's not one triple in supercross you can't hit in 1st gear on a 450. Just ask yourself on what part of any SX track last year would more power have helped any rider. There's a reason why so many of these guys love 350s. The 450s are just too much for a so track

If you want a 2 stroke race …. Put up a 50,000 purse

The 350 argument has never made sense to me. You already have a slower, lighter and cheaper bike legal in the class and that's the 250 two stroke

You talk about starts being about the rider. But ur on a team, so why wouldn't you have the best mechanics, engineers and innovation to get the hole shots.
