That sarcasm. You should be able to get that fairly easy with the obr. As a roller, no maybe 400

Naw for real, I thought I'd get 550 tops ?‍♂️ yeah if I can get that much money I'd be able to do alot of things (if I added it with how much I get paid monthly) .
Look how smooth ????
 
Post it for $700... seriously. You shouldn't have a problem getting that specially with the engine being near new.

Wouldnt sell it now, in September probably . Because I don't want to be rc-less for the rest of the season ? but yeah, even by then, motor will have 2 1/2 gallons on it, pretty much new.

Was watching your vid with the ss34, feker hauls ass ? what gearing do you run? And is there an actual performance gain with the ss34 and a normal 34? I know you get the ss34 ported for your specific use , but hp for hp is there a gain.

Stock spur, 21T pinny. ?I know we discussed this in another thread. I believe OBR emailed me back about Hp gains and they said over 10hp. Not sure if you could feel the difference between the two or not??‍♂️

Yeah I wouldn't be able to afford a SS, probably just a 34 long block, doubt I'll be disappointed tho ?
21 seems like the perfect spot , Mike has 22 on his 34 and it seems to be lacking bottom end, yours is perfect

Yeah Doug and I agree on the 21T. Perfect all round gearing for the 34??
 
Went for a run today ,ran for like 15 mins (plug fouled) and it ran well . Towards the end of the run a guy with a dirt bike pulls up an wants to race/check out my rig ? probably a 450cc I'd guess, should have recorded ?‍♂️ I almost won the race! Was about 1 ft behind maybe on the top end

HOnestly surprised you didn't smoke him. I have a 500cc. He must be a hell of a rider.
