I put it together and did some riding, not far until I get a tag and add it to insurance. I was very surprised. Granted it is 25 years newer than the honda xr200r I had almost 20 years ago I'd have to say it is better. It feels like it makes a lot more torque at a lower rpm but is also faster on the top end. My wife followed me in her toyota sienna and with the stock front sprocket my speedometer was showing 55 and hers was showing 57. I got it up to 59 once after about the 8th mile and based on the rpm it was at I think it may be able to hit 70 or close to it. I was surprised but happy to see that everything aside from the front axle was heavily greased and bolts were marked and torqued. I don't know if it came from China that way or if Venom Motorsports did it. The most time consuming parts of the whole thing were getting it out of the crate with no front wheel and finding bolts I somehow lost. I also couldn't find my drum brake pliers so it made the kickstand spring a pain.
