Do to be expected as it is a 50cc engine powering the thing so don't be expecting it to be amazing performance or setting any land speed records. Smile

You'd be surprised how painfully powerless they are compared the newer 50cc's, most of which claim about 8bhp at the crank.

I believe the Suzuki only has 3bhp at the rear wheel. Rolling Eyes

Is it deresticted?

Most of the new one's aren't considerably more advanced as far as I know.

You can always get a big-bore kit for not much to give a decent hike in power.

If you want a properly powerful 50cc bike:

Top speed of over 100mph, 17,500 rpm, twin cylinder... think around 1000-500 rpm of that actually making power, so 14 gears to make use of that teeny bit of power.
