Title: 250F's or four fiddys !
Post by: Heathen on October 31, 2017, 11:10:51 PM
So, im new to the community and the game. i'm haveing a blast as it is for now, my question tho is what do you guys ride ? the small or the big bikes ?
I my self cant seem to get a handle on the 450's yet, they are to "slippery" without propper throttle control.

250f all the way mate, the 450 is fun but I only have fun on it with traction control on.

Yea the 250 are def. easier to handle! As a beginner you can turn on traction and brake help in the settings -> simulation. It helps alot. I'm also riding since 2 weeks with these little helpers and i was riding since beta3 without it, but atm it feels way better.. iam pretty sure in b7 i will turn it off again

I played with those on for 3/4 hours of play time, then i turned them off, want to make sure that when it comes to "racing time" and if that stuff needs to be off, i wont be in trouble hehe.
Thanks for the tips there anyway mate!

Is there any racing happeing these days ? would be fun to join up to see how bad i realy am xD

I like 250s more as well, but just because people can actually catch me on those and I can battle with someone instead of winning by 1 min every race ::)

Just need a proper setup and good throttle control for 450 compared to 250. It's much more sensitive to "wrong' inputs and a good setup makes or breaks a track for a 450.

Hm Bj, might have to test it out then, i guess its all about " patiance and throttle controll" with that bike.

do you guys use any riding assistance with the 450 ?

It's definitely throttle control. The more control you have, the faster you'll go.

I don't use any assistance except for auto clutch.

The track I learned the 450 on was Florida Test Tracks. Not too rough, not too easy, good jumps, nice lines, overall just a great track.
