+1i beleive a shift kit with a motor that has been cleaned up inside adjusted port timming a tuned expansion chamber maybe a higher compression head and a better carb can acheive fort five
and of course a bike and tires worthy of such speed
i would never go that fast with out a helmet
That's good info thanks. I run the CST Cyclops as well only in 26x2.4. But they do seem to wear fast, only got about 500 miles on them and it's showing. Not bad for $14 a piece though and I take em up to about 55mph.Scotto has 2 lbs CST Cyclops Tires (24" x 2.4") on his 20hp 212cc racer.
A 22" x 2.5" moped tire has weight of 4.6 lbs (IRC NR2 2.50-18), Rated for about 70 mph.
Much of the added weight is in the sidewalls.
That's pretty damn fast, are you just throwing up numbers?That's good info thanks. I run the CST Cyclops as well only in 26x2.4. But they do seem to wear fast, only got about 500 miles on them and it's showing. Not bad for $14 a piece though and I take em up to about 55mph.
Also they have good traction in the wet definitely better than the assortment of other cheap tires.
No. see my sig 212 2-speed. Floating valves at 5k and 7:1, could change one sprocket and make it a 6.4:1 and hit 60 at 5k, but there's no place to ride that fast; all the expressway speed limits around here are 45-50.That's pretty damn fast, are you just throwing up numbers?
How much do thorn resistant tubes go for? And where did you buy them, I can't seem to find them at stores like Walmart or Target, etc. I was thinking about getting some of those inner tube lining protector.... what's your opinion on it?No. see my sig 212 2-speed.

I run the very heavy thorn resistant tubes and haven't had a problem yet. Never had a front blow out on me.
Here's the rear. Yep about 600mi and no burnouts... when I was still doing burnouts I'd get about 3-4 burns per tire before it wore out LOL.
