Did you buy another 200cc engine, or did you upgrade to a 250?

New Pics On My WWW . new black engine . beginners first ride today . Wasn't sure what i expected . had to ride to see what it really is . rode mostly around the hood at first to get a feel for the bike and get up the nerve to go out on the road . so then i thought OK a ride to the top of the mountain all back roads hardly traveled , but 5 miles of the real road to get there and didn't really want to push the new engine . those 5 miles found out i had to push it or have cars and trucks up my A** . 8000 rpms and 60mph thats got to change . nice ride up the mountain and brake ride back down nice views wished i'd had a camera ( didn't occur to me beforehand needed seat time ) back though the 5 miles of cars up my uKnow and back home . 1 1/2 hours later jumped back on and roamed the hood again and was surprised how much more comfortable i felt having the other ride behind me . i know more now about what it is and what it isn't as far as roads go now . looking forward to riding off road some . and thanks for every ones input on china riders looks like this will be fun riding and tinkering

I hate to say it, but you aren't going to get any 200cc engine to go much faster than 60 mph.

If you can achieve a sustained cruising speed of 60 mph, with a top speed of 70 mph, you will be doing quite well. Of course, those speeds will drop if you encounter either headwinds or inclines.

Spud is right. My comment is a new engine needs a little time to break in before hitting those RPMs. You might keep it down for a few miles!

yea i don't mind 60 , but hate to see 8000 at 60 . The way it came 17 front and 56 rear sprocket . new engine came with a 15 front witch i changed before riding . i was thinking maybe getting a 47 rear sprocket to use with the 17 front . any thoughts on that setup ?

A 45-48T rear sprocket works pretty well on these bikes.

I liked the 45T. It was alittle high for off-road use, but do able.
