I have both, and I do feel like the Dale is overall easier to ride. There are certain things I like about each one though. My 89 R with Elka shocks will corner like a dirt track car. Slide upon command, hehe. The Dale takes a little more body english in the corners. Now after the corner is where the Dale take charge. I can lug the four stroke and clear 30 foot doubles with no problem.
Overall, I just feel like I have to ride the R so much harder to accomplish the same thing that I can do on the Dale and not get as tired.

I raced an R in 2002. It had just about everything aftermarket except for the frame. PEP LMT Mass shocks and all. I feell like I can make faster lap times with my Dale than I could the R. The Dale power is just so much more reliable than the two stroke. I like torque the dale has, and to me, handles better than the R did. If I was racing TT, I would probably go with an R, but for MX, the dale hooks up better, and has more consistent power.
