Been looking at loads of bikes like this on youtube Sean. Absolutely fascinating. Came across a twin cylinder Suzuki 50cc 2 stroke racer earlier that reved to 22,000 rpm and had not 9 but a 14 speed gear box They just don't engineer bikes like this any more. That Honda sounds amazing. |

I think i read in a book some where suzuki had a 4 or 5 cylinder 50cc smoker but it never made it onto a track due to rule changes

Good point jazzy, but are you sure that wasn't down to the sprocket sizes on them? I have a friend who has a Honda Dax monkey bike that has a similar engine and can pull over 70mph. I also had a pit, with that 150cc engine in it that I linked. It sounded amazing, but I never clocked it. Pit bike tracks tend to be short, narrow and twisty. Also used to supermoto it, you can see my slicks on 10" rims in the background of the 2nd pic     Adam |
