One thing to keep in mind the Most sites will tell you a bike to go 47 + for 4 or 2 stroke, but they did not tell you this is only feasible with modifications not right out of the box. Also the speedometer on these things do not measure tire rotation measures motor speed, although you might hit 30 mph going to say 15 mph.
