2013 Kawasaki KX250F vs. 1983 Honda XR200 Video

It has been said that skill on two wheels is decidedly "not about the bike". While this may be partially true, there's always some gray area when it comes to the battle of skill vs. equipment. To put this theory to the test, bike builder Jay Clark conducted a little video experiment where he put an average Joe on a modern KX250F against Dirt Rider test rider Gary Sutherlin aboard a clapped out old bike. The result? You'll have to see for yourself, but we will say this: Gary makes the old XR look pretty dang fast!
