85 vs supermini?

Question

which class would you get recognition in? (don't say both)

Answer 1

I hate to say it..But both class's would get recognition...More so in the super mini....Because if you are in the top few of a super mini class you are well worth looking at....You would be the fastest of the fastest in that class...

If you are winning a super mini class with your mod bike...You should be able to also win the stock class on a stock bike..

You would have no choice but to race a stock bike in any AMA event that is not a super mini class or open 14/16 class..If you had any one protest you and have your bike torn down...you would have to pay for it and lose your points in that race....

Answer 2

If you are any good you will get noticed no matter what class you ride.  Firstly other riders and the crew will notice you if you are always at the pointy end of the race and then once your name starts being said over the speaker and people start talking about who won what, you then get known further afield.  If you are lucky enough to win something major you get your photo and a write up in motocross magazines. And if you are in the sport long enough everyone on the race scene knows exactly who you are.

Sorry I said both!

Answer 3

I assume you mean 85 stock versus the super mini. Obviously the super mini is a faster class, but the folks out there looking for talent can spot it no matter what class you are riding. Most fast guys I know run both the stock and super mini class.
