BIGGEST cc? for riding not drag only?


Recommended Posts

ok as far as my experience with higher HP motors just farting around..   my lsr outlaw had a 421 cc stock cylinder motor in it.  now this was the absolute best chassis possible as far as a dunner, trail bike.  anyone that thinks otherwise  welp i'm not going to argue with you  just take my word on it..    

 

the motor made 80hp and 55ft lbs of tq, on gas..   i like alky  i switched it to alky.  so it was more agressive..   what i really really liked about it was the fact that i DIDNT have to wind the motor out to get it to make any real power and get around.  i could chug it everywhere.    the new owner of the bike liked this fact also.  i later switched it to stock carbs and pump gas with custom domes..  

 

before this i ran a 485 PV cheeta 4 mill in a lightened stock j-chassis and running a 6 over arm.   it was on alky and had a brutal bottom end.   i could chug it off idle up any dune out there, BUT  the top end HP was so brutal it was very hard to control.  it was fun as hell  but wore me out really really fast.  the swinger was to short to really be fast drag racing  but was a blast to ride..   

 

my most fav trail motor was a 350cc ported for t-6 pipes and running 30mm pwk's and or 32/34 or 34/36 lectrons..  it had really brutal bottom end.  was easy to ride  you could chug it around no problem.  it was a great even power and cheap motor to maintain really..   if i had that engine in the outlaw i really feel it would have bee ultimate for an older fart like me to ride..  

 

big motors are fun to ride IF you can handle it.  BUT my personal exp is that a more mild lower end motor is way more easy to ride.  if that makes sense..
