Hey binking, not everyone is going to race at the nationals, only a very small percentage in actuall fact. The sport is about the amatures, and fostering talent ... And ammatures arent going to invest thousands in a first bike ...
I think your attitude is typical of some of the big heads around here who think they are better than everybody else. All you acheive with your oneupmanship is to intimidate the ammatures and make them think they are not good enough to post ... grow up
So the only proof of a good bike is in competition aye ? A bit like saying your Ford Falcon is no good because it cant compete against a Formula 1 car.
Horses for courses, not everyone has the money or the expertise to race at that level so they look for the best value they can afford.
^^ WELL SAID spodox ^^
How many Pimpit/Pitpro/Atomik/DHZ'S or any of the other cheapass bikes around these days were in the top 10 of the open class at the Mini SX or Mini Moto Mayhem. The answer is stuff all. Plenty of them in the amatuer classes though. The reason why? Because the really fast guys don't ride them that's why. The racers want a race bike and not some dressed up playbike, all that billet is just an attempt to polish a turd. That's the difference between the MSO & the others. So bring on the next waste of time thread and lets do it all again for the kiddies that haven't learn't yet.
If Pimpit or any other manufacture were to sponsor riders, u would see them at the mini sx and other big race meets. People will ride anything for the right money, **** most people will ride anything for free if they are supplied bikes and people to work on them. But all those things cost $$$ which in turn increases the price of there bikes in shops, which then puts them out of reach for the newcomers and average people looking to buy good quality bikes without spending thousands.
