But what is the power delivery like? It will do over 100 but will it happily sit at 45-50 on the way to a rally with your mates? I'm surprised no owner have posted waxing lyrical about them! Personally I'd like to have a go on one but for the sort of riding I do I don't think it would fit the bill but if you've got the cash and enough extra for the other upgrades you will need go for it you only live once

Often, on the way to producing 45bhp, there is a stunning power band that delivers an extra 15 or even 20 bhp over just 1000 revs, on its way to its 9,500 to 10,000 ceiling. It is exciting (probably very exciting) much of the time, but I guess it becomes tiresome when filtering with traffic with your mates in the real world.
I would prefer torque and a more linear delivery of power over a scary rev-monster any day. The guy who shares these words of wisdom has a TS1 with a 60mm crank. It is very nice to ride.
Lesson: Be careful what you wish for.

A local lad has the 225 (street legal) and it recorded 102mph at Elvington, not sure what the 265 will do !!
I didn't think they did the ready built engines anymore ?

Well, some doomsayers think we are all going to die form Covid-19 anyway
Joking aside, what do you think FF, is it all marketing hype or are the engines as good as the vids suggest ?
I am reluctant to ride a test scoter as I have had experience of so called test engines and chassis when kart racing and there are never what you actually go on to buy but are specials designed to suck you in.

I would buy the full package but only after i fly out to rimini and getting that good looking chick that mechanics there take me 2s up for a test RIDE!!!!!!!! and then let her convince me why it was the ride of my life.
