I used to have a yamaha bws with a race 2-stroke 80cc making around 16hp at the crank (plus upgraded trans, cdi etc). It was fast up to 80km/h but still no where near as quick as my sportbikes, it also only cost $2200 (including purchasing the scooter).
Ya, but your 80cc race engine also isn't meant as a daily. That's why they are only good for about 5K km's before blowing, so then you lose reliability. You dont on this ruck and its not about getting a sport bike. Its about having a one off ruckus. In the end someone will buy it for $12K easily. Maybe not you or me, but someone will.
