10milmike nice dyno numbers.!!! one thing I always like about shearer motors the curve always has a nice straight line to it I bet they are a blast to ride.. I wish I would of had him do my serval
windy you can down shift that is not a problem but its a pain in the ass shifting up and down going around trees over rocks etc.. the cheetah is a good motor for what we do the or the serval they are just more forgiving for on and off the gas IMO.. I have rode a bunch of cubs and for me none of them have been a motor I would like and only one of them I felt good enough to even try a hill which was a 10mil cub..
other people have made cubs work for what we do but they are always clutching the bike even in second gear on some of the hills that is not for me. you just don't need to ride the cheetah of serval as aggressive to get the same outcome ..
I know cc per cc the cub will give you more hp than the cheetah or serval but I would never want a cub or and other cylinder that is going to be pipey to ride my favorite motor was my 465 serval after I played with it for a while and found the dome ,reeds carbs etc. that suited what I was doing with the quad
