Around 70 mph, not taking a year to accelerate either

NOT gonna happen without major CID increase and gears and money.

it works better if your holding you breath and laying on the ground kicking you feet and saying i hate you
grow up and be real
first you want to go 110 mph ( i no you just kidding ) then i send you to a form to give you what you need to build a motor ... did you read it no you put up what you have (daaaaaaa) then you have 4 post going no were and your never going to do a thing ... you no that 100 jet is the way to go ??? 15 and you no it all but how to look on here under
Scooter Builds and see what other are doing ...

CT manifold, 24-28mm carb will help. Not sure which gears and roller combo will get you to 70 mph.

Greetings:

Here's my partial Corsa experience. Flash 3.2 covers the Corsa installation itself. The 2001 block was carved to make room for my Giant 97mm variator from Brand "X" - to this day I don't know who makes it, only that you can't squeeze a bigger one into the case. The ZX trans setup came straight from Kymco.

Gears and details in my sig. Some say they've hit 70+ with 8.44s, but I've never gone more than 65 with them on this frame. RPM would be very high to get there, or my tranny's slipping and losing groundspeed to a greater degree than others. I go 65-68.5 just about every day. 69.9 still my best GPS reading to date. Take-off is just OK to stay with aggressive Camry drivers.

Just over 3000 miles on the frame, about half of that with the current Corsa block, (= 1500) and about half of that with the 26mm carb. (~750) The 26 i the Way to Go, if you Ax me. Better top-end than the 24, but not as fussy to tune as the 28. YMMV
