As Mike reported here on RSBFS in 2017, “When it comes to two strokes, this is how the rest of the world generally sees them: smaller bikes for entry level riders and cheap transportation. Common across Asia and Europe, small-displacement bikes fall into either the scooter or the repli-racer category. Each has its own merits, although the scooter category is the most popular. Thankfully, manufacturers realize that young riders aren’t always sensible; some are motorsports enthusiasts. Thus, the small-bore repli-racers exists.

You’ll never tap the potential of these on the streets of the USA. Be smart and start googling and emailing kart tracks near you. Ask if they allow bikes. These are outstanding trackday bikes. Riding without regard from speedlimits and cars is the path to joy.
Without that outlet, the potential here is only a tiny fraction. Do your homework and find the path to bliss. Highly recommended.
I already have 6 mini roadracers so I must pass on chasing a #7.
Why am I substantially more interested in the Koenig widebody SEC Benz right now?
@Michael…….The Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina lets you release your inner racer spirit….many people ride it at the upper limit of performance…..
