But for kart tracks i find you want bottom end over top end, so a nice big fat header is nice.

The "bananna" bucket has a huge fat header and a 1" straight through muffler, it may pop wheelies like no other gs125, but its got no top end so you are left for dead on the straights. Its down to "What do you want your bike to do?"

Did you just make this up , or did you have help?
