liter bikes in beginner and intermediate are the worst. guy blows past you in the straights only for me to catch him and pass him by turn 4. Now in the hands of a good rider they will pass me and prolly lap me in 15 minutes

very true. if a liter bike passes me and hes gone that I can live with hes just a bteer rider, but I hate passing the same guy 5 times in a session because he only has more HP than me. If i get passed by a samller displacement bike, I usualy just let them go, no point in frustrating them by making them pass me only because i have more HP.

Then there was a guy at loudon that smoked me on a 250 2 stroke. Tried following him through a turn and I think I saw god and was like F that
