Removing catalytic converter?
So, there are three china bikes I have my eye on. The SG250 and RX3 from CSC, and the Italijet/SSR Buccaneer. All these bikes have catalytic converters in the pipes. Will removing the cat add a little performance to these dimunitive 250s?

Yes it will. Your are removing a restriction in the exhaust. It will also require re-jetting of the carb.

Well, two out of the three bikes I'm looking at are fuel injected...

I missed that. On the fuel injected engine the ECU will relearn and compensate for it but you will probably set off an error code.
