Beat it how?  In a straight drag race? On a MX track? In the woods? With a stick? On a supercross track?

Truth is with dirt bikes a lot of whats faster depends on the rider.  If your friend is really fast on a 125; he could easily beat a slow poke like me. (I make a better mechanic than a racer) But he would have a lot harder time keeping up with a more experienced rider like Pinit.  (It's true Pin, I've seen the videos)

If your talking straight out power the most souped up 125, heck lets say bored out to 150 like the rules say they can be now, will not be as powerful as a stock 250.  And it will be harder to ride.  When it comes to Power there is no replacement for displacement.

I used to run a KX 125 bored out to a 144cc and just switch to a 05 YZ 250.  No comparison like night and day brother.

You are either a very special rider, or something is seriously wrong with those other bikes.
