It's a junk Chinese from the looks of it, 85mph is wishful thinking. The Ninja 250 carb aught to make it starve for fuel and run hot, and the Yoshimura exhaust should do even hotter. I'll bet that carb aint jetted. Very surprising if thats legit but I got a good laugh...

That thing looks like a piece of crap. 50cc my a s s. Most of the GY6 use a 70cc and higher and just mark it as a 50cc. You think the DOT would have figured that out by now. lol

Also I bet it goes thru some belts. I bet a belt wouldnt last 2 weeks on that ride.

WOW!! And only 45 minutes away from my house!!


Tazland; I thought I was the only one who knew about the Chinese stuffing everything BUT a 50cc piston in those GY6's... But still mark them "50cc"

-I see them every freaking day at the shop I work at-

I hear yah ghost. I was sooooo sick of how cheap those GY6 engines are. The crapiest maker is Geely. OMG what junk. When I imported scooters from china I use to use the linhai/yamaha engines and they where better than most but still nothing compared to yami and honda.

Actually it was kinda funny to see the peoples faces when you handed them the bill for repairs. They pay 600 for a new scooter and 3 weeks later they have a 200+$ bill in repairs. lol
