The Mfr website doesn't mention the bigger model? I was looking for the wheelbase dim, to compare with my XB12S and couldn't find that either. The shift pattern is N 1 2 3 4; I thought that the DOT mandated 1 N 234 back in the '70's when they forced shifters to the left side. | ||

This is NOT a street bike... it's for track use only. The DOT rules don't really apply. I'm just surprised it doesn't have a GP pattern by default. (Message edited by jaimec on December 30, 2020) | ||

These are ripping up the tracks in their classes right now, but not sure how long that will last. Much like KAYO these may be a very niche product on the track. But they are said to be extremely capable. Much better than taking a Z125 and putting a big bore kit in it, the big bore kits tend to destroy themselves. These ohvale bikes seem to be centered around a common Chinese motor that you can buy for around $1000. It is possible to fit these into a street bike frame if you fabricate mounts. Also I think it is Man In the Box that is trying to get a road legal version. https://youtu.be/WvC3-ahi1S8 That would make these more successful, but not going to be a walk in the park to certify these in many states. | ||

I'll take a hard pass. | ||

If you had a track near you, the savings would quickly add up. Practice days are around $75 to $100 and racing not much more. Contrast with a $500 track day or more. | ||

I didn't realize there was that much of a difference. The only karting track I know of in the area is at NJMP which is still a bit of a haul. Be nice if I could find one closer. | ||

Njminigp.com, we had some in NY but it's pretty much done for now. |
