De-restrict them (arrow exhaust) and the speedo should hit bout 60-65mph so it should hit 100kmh. Mate had one in the uk, awsome little bikes in the uk when ur restricted to 50cc

This bike was never restricted, it's a "AM" spec bike.
Europe gets the reduced headers (barrell too) in 30 and 45
mph models.
It will do 60 mph (100kph) now with the quiet stock exhaust and low gearing but that's just hitting the 11,000 redline which it will do to easily.
Could do with a 1 tooth bigger front sprocket.
75cc Big bore kits start from a 100 pounds and liven these up and increase the top speed to over 70mph.

Cheers

Awesome. Somebody needs to bring one of these on the 250 rides, it would probably leave us all for dead. Would be ludicrously fun on the commute to work. Who would pay for a scooter when you can get this for the same price?

Has 35mm forks and wider 17" rims than a RG500
so you can get good tyres etc and it handles wicked.
It's only done 1200 miles half of that by me.
250's go a lot faster for sure but then they cost more to run around town and yes it's way way better than a scooter.

Cheers

I'm not sure they would, to be honest -- sure, a bit more power in a 250 (but not that much more, really), but the cornering ability of it would be phenomenal. It'd blitz the Kaiaua run

The rs250 would eat it (trust me iv ridden both), but it would give the new 250s a run in the twistys
