I clocked my bike going 27 MPH on a flat surface. All stock. Is this a good speed? How fast can you get yours going?

27 MPH sounds about right for stock....I've been to 34.4 MPH using a 36T sprocket (6400 RPM....about as high as I want to wind the engine...I will use a smaller sprocket on my next build).

Going to a smaller sprocket may only net you lower rpm, but no gain in speed.
Unless you make engine mods....

Ok, Thanks. Thought I might have been going a bit slow. I feel like I need more speed. Will get into mods later.

en cuba, i've gotten one of my creations up to around 50-60 but that was a very light frame, plastic bottle tank, and a 150CC from a old motorcycle.

edge Here you go Google Bonniville Salt Flats. It's in Utah. Also Speed Records. I'm not sure but I think the two wheel speed record is close to 400 MPH right now
