Hey guys. Just thought I would share with you what happened today. Well, I was riding at a local gravel pit on my 85' 200x, and I was fishing there for a little while. Two guys came up to me on a 2001 Poolaris trailblazer 250, and asked if I wanted to race. I said sure, and went out to the road. I knew the polaris had a 2 stroke engine, and was bigger, and had automatic, but it did'nt bother me at all. We decided to race about 1/4 mile down the gravel. I told the guy to let his friend off, and to have a single race. Well he let him off, and told his friend "watch me beat this P.O.S." After hearing that, I told him to start his engine. He did, feeling confident he would beat the much smaller, older trike. I started mine, and his friend gave the signal to GO. We jumped off the starting line, I got the holeshot, but in 4th gear, the Poolaris started to catch up. I let him get next to me, then I hit it into 5th gear, and I was gone. I beat him by 3 or 4 bike lengths. He was embarassed afterwards, and demanded a few rematches. We raced 7 or 8 times. He only beat me once. (I did a wheelie on start, and had the choke on oops ) He couldnt believe that I beat him. I was a little suprised as well. How could a 20 year old trike beat a near new quad with a bigger engine? Its amazing what these things can do. I'll never give up trikes!

I know, I regulary smoke 400ex, raptors, yfz450, and most quads on my atc250r. you have to think about this, how much does the poopalis weigh, gearing, kind of tires, its got a auto tranny(ugh), and drag of a extra wheel. Do the math, a good rider could smoke one of those on a 200x all day long.

You beat a guy in a drag race and you started out in 4rth gear ????? Something sounds funny . I have a hopped up 250r but if I took off in 4trh gear in a drag race ...... I'd get took . I dunno , maybee that guy couldnt handle that intricate automatic transmission .

Ace Mon, He probably started out in 1st gear, shifted through the gears, but when he was in 4th gear the polaris was starting to catch up....ive never heard or any bike or anything that could get a holeshot taking off in 4th gear!!!

Maybe its a rocket powered 200x?

I would start in 4th gear if that was the case :)
