Probably my gearing, if I had a bit taller gearing for top end I probably would have won.
No idea what classifies as a good rider as I know nothing about bikes ?‍♂️? but his shifts were on point.

Well, put it this way, you're running a 70cc motor right? And your vehicle weighs what? 25-30 lbs? He's on 450cc and that bike weighs 200-250 lbs plus I'll just assume he was average size so like 180-200lbs? so he was at about 1cc:1lb while you were at about almost 3cc:1lb. Imagine a 25-30cc car beating you :p

Yeah it sparks a bit but it not enough to do anything, definitely feked , was 2 months old tho and I run it on the rich side so it did it's time ? lol 50cc can whip sum ass!
Dude I raced wasn't an assshole (first time meeting someone with my truck who wasn't ?‍♂️??) ?
Gunna grab a few plugs to have on hand, aswell as I got to get some more gas (burned thAt whole gallon of 28:1 ?)

Dirt bike bros appreciate a good thumper when they hear it. A ton of guys out there are still riding 2 strokes and refuse to ride 4 strokes. I personally have a 4 stroke because I prefer EFI and more linear powerband. And because they don't make any street-legal 2 strokes that I'm aware of.

The one I raced was a 4 stroke ?

Back in the 70s Kawasaki made several 2 stroke triple cylinder street bikes. I briefly owned the 400cc version, before I baked the center cylinder. My dad had the 750cc version. Mine was scary to ride, his was death waiting to happen. The power came in just like a dirt bike, that was geared low. All at once. He called his the widow maker. Mom made us get rid of them. Very difficult to ride.

They got the name of Kettle's didn't they as they always boiled the centre cylinder. don't see many of them about these days, although 2 years ago at a meet I saw an immaculate 750 kettle, all original and still with the original owner, beautiful bike to look at.
