I rode it for the first time today...... and it is AWESOME! It handles beautifully and stops effortlessly, but most surprising of all is the POWER! It has waaaay more grunt and speed than I was expecting. My friend Dan followed me on his new Honda scooter and said I was doing an easy 25mph, and it can accelerate up a fairly steep hill in first gear no problem. The coolest part though is the 2 speed.... it is soooo satisfying when it grabs second. Second hits hard, but the engine definitely drops out of its power band, so I'm thinking of changing the spring in the jackshaft clutch back to an 1800 rpm which would have it shift into second at about 4100 rpm vs 3300 rpm now. The mikuni carb started right up and the hot dog muffler is pretty loud and "poppy", and man does she like to rev. It was hovering around 5000 rpm at 25 mph and was still climbing. I think it will do 6k.... esp downhill. We have a trail riding session planned for this weekend, and I will be sure to get some video.
