The Doo would beat them both off the line.

From what I have seen the ZR and MXZ are about equal but that ZL is heavier than the ZR. But buddies 1998 ZR600 with only heavier weights in the primary was running a 1997 MXZ 670. The 1997 XC 600 (this was the only year it was a XC tripple 1998 the XC was a twin) was a complete toilet. My 1997 Cougar 550 smoked my buddies all day long.

So out of the 3.....Doo, Cat, and a ways back Pol.

If you race them in the grass, you'll get the real results!

Of the three the Do is likly the lightest then the ZL and then the Pol. The Pol with a triple should have the most motor ,but I don't think so!!!
So Do then ZL and a close third Pol! just my opinion by all means line them up, hec I'll take on the winner? I love to run, you might beat me but you'll have to try!!!
