i dont know about the best engine. imho the piaggio may infact be the best. followed closely by the dio, and bws.
but the dio moto is set uop for modification, with a lot of bolt ons avaialble, and a tuneable trans. definately makes for a fun project. best part is, if you have the tools and the know how. or *, just the tools, a will to explore, and a love fopr the game.... you can put a dio on NAYTHING.

you've had your bike radared or clocked with a laser to varify that it goes 50? or some other type of accurate measurement?

nope other then the cop things that sit on the side of the road.

a stock/restricted dio motor, dosnt go much faster then any other motor. should still be in the ballpark of 40. but after its modified, and depending on how heavily, you can get them to do dangerous speeds

Mine only tops out at about 32, but runs consistent at about 29-30. I'm about 215ish pounds. Wish I could get mine to do 35 on a regular basis!

loose weight.

actually weight of the rider has a lot to do with it, but it could just be a matter if tuneing. it may just need a tune up. (plug, cap, weights, springs, compression check, carb clean, decarb muffler, ect...)
