I have a 6.5 on mine and I'm around 280 290 at 6 foot. And it pulls me with no problem.I run around 45 MPH. and that is without a tork-a-verter .
What is fun is others see me riding it then when a light weight get's on it take him for a surprise. the look on their face is priceless.

Thanks for the info I do have an old 460ci over in the corner but that might be over the top so it looks like i'm going with a rice burner some where in the 650 to 750 cc range...

My experience in that department dates back to a dirt track and a $50 claims race. Only way a 19 year old and a '48 Ford could get in on the fun. Better wrench than driver. Worked on others. Just as much fun.........Terry

Too bad you don't live closer. I have a Honda V twin sitting over in the corner, radiator and all and an 850 Yamaha Specal over at the hangar. You could REALY go sideways...........Terry

Hi Im 6,1 210 pounds and my personal B.S.R has a built 8hp on it and it's a rocket!:cheers:

[1100kaw]

speaking of biiger and better, I dont even have my stool totally done, and I am already thinking more HP.
Anyone know about these 110cc + 125 cc engines on e bay?
seems like the best advertised one are the "lifan", and "zongshen"
show 10 to 12 hp, @ about 7500 rpm with 4 gears.
whats the thoughts on these engines? anyone had any?
or should I just keep it simple with my 6.5 honda.copy@3600 rpm.
I cant understand why the smaller 110 cc engine makes so much more power, insight????
