400EX vs. 200X three wheeler

[LightningEX]

This might be a stupid question or not...A friend of mine thinks he is going to be able to beat me once his 200X three wheeler is back together which will be soon.I think it is like a 1984.Supposidly he says its ported and polished,has new valves,and has already been bored quite a bit and hes trying to lighten it up by taking stuff off to beat me.Now will this old thing stand a chance?Right now I have a 14 tooth front sprocket on my EX but if need be I will change it back to 15 quick just to beat him and shut him up.Now my thoughs are I would smoke him but I might be wrong so I wanted to be sure.My EX is a 2002 by the way and my mods are listed in my sig.Thanks.

Forgot to mension this will be on asphalt.:D

no, it won't beat ya...my bro in alw ahd a nice worked 1986 200x and he didn't last too long agains my 400ex. the 200x was very close to my 300ex though

[LightningEX]

Hehe.Just what i wanted to hear.Should I even bother putting the 15 tooth back on?I cant wait now.lol.I love puttin this kid in his place but then he denys the whole race anyways.:D

If you flat out blow at riding , then he will beat you . Those things are faster than you think so I wouldnt be to cocky just yet ...

[LightningEX]

Well I think I must be pretty decent at riding since I have beat a Scrambler 500 on my ex when it had less mods and I dont even think he can ride that well to tell the truth...

I'd probably keep the 14 on just because you have bigger tires in the back now.

Any last suggestions?Im gonna be leaving the computer for a week or so since I dont have it at my house.Im probally going to be racing wednesday this week BTW.Ill let you all know how it turns out.Thanks.

your 400ex should walk away from it, the 200x's are very quick for a 200cc thumper... but not that quick, even worked to the balls with stock displacement it would be hard...now if u have a 300ex...id be worried haha
