I think that some of the speed claims published by the dealers and distributors are a little optimistic for most of these Chinese bikes, no matter what kind (i.e. 'sport,' chopper, dirt/enduro, cruiser). 80mph is one of those speeds which seem to be a little too good to be true for any 200cc bike. I don't know if you read my post under introductions and tried the youtube posters? There are/were very few of these Chinese chopper owners here on chinariders, so not too much knowledge of them. Youtube should put you in touch with a multitude of owners, and when you find some really cool videos, you can link them here so we can see what these bikes and their owners are up to. We would love to see photos/videos of your bikes to start!!

Actually a Chinabike WILL do 90+ although there is a special technique you must replicate:

These Chinese bikes are good for MANY things, just not 90 MPH.

Even my Pitster Pro 400, when it ran, topped out at 83. AND it was a 4 valve 6 speed. :roll:
