None that i know of. They both make about the same power in about the same way. Why bother? They are both CDi.

Ahhh right, the dreaded big bore. You cannot just bang the different ig on for more revs, 2 strokes don't work that way. The carb and pipe on a DT are designed to give a better mid range than the rd. Megga rpm will kill it quick too. The extra mass of the bigbore piston will also put extra stresses on your bike.

You will be quicker if you go up a couple of teeth on the front and maybe even drop a few off the rear, then shift in the torque of the bigbore, ride the midrange and you will have a bike flexible enough to murder an RD on a twisty B road. If you are trying to catch them on the bypass, don't waste your time.
