You seem to have a very well sorted engine in that anyway, suitable for the circumstances. And the company Italika does a very nice job it seems. Looks good. Let me know if they have a rack that fits where those angled rear grips bolt on.

The stock 200cc looks like a 100 kph engine but isn't. The speedo is a good ten percent out, at least. You are lucky to get a true 90 kph using GPS to check. However as soon as you change the air filter, sprocket ratio, exhaust you can get the true kph and then some get more with further tweaks. One guy gets nearly 140 kph but I do NOT want to do that on a chinabike. I am getting a comfortable 100 kph and will try and find a touch more for safety and lower rev cruising on the highways.
