i love the red brake calipers and rotor.

Venom and loved the wide seat.
you will like the seat on longer rides.

Yeah the exhaust sounds sweat. no need to swap out. Just have to find the cat and remove. 😆 Talking with Moose this one they have made to there specs. Just like the X22

So is the old Hawk motor going to find its way in there for a top speed run?

No but will eventually port and deck the head on this one too. Possibly a performance cam if I can find a match from another OHC engine. The bike is very light. I picked up one end of the crate by myself while my daughter pulled the palletbout from under. My shipping ticket said 265 lbs. Hp to weight ratio will be higher than my hawk.

I think WGK makes cams for these, and possibly the CRF230 cams might be compatible with it.

When ever I pull the head I'll takes some measurement and see what's available.

Love the bike can wait to see you do some stuff with this. Is that 265lbs including the shipping material or just the bike. Also how much hp is this suposed to make. I've been wanting to get a light sport bike for honeing my skills. I've been thinking about an r3 but this dose interest me. If the bike is 265lbs or less it's got at least a 100lb advantage over an r3. I know the r3 will make more power but if this bike is way lighter with decent power it might be close to the r3 speed and acceleration wise for a lot less money.

That was the shipping weight. When I first saw that I was like no way. But when I picked up the rear of the crate with the bike still on it up to remove the pallet it felt so light. I'll have to put it on a scale and see actual weight.

Dam I cant wait to see you weigh this. If it's 265 with packaging the crate and pallet got to be at least 40lbs. I bet the bike is some were around 200-220 very tempting it would have an awesome powered to weight ratio especially with mods.

Congrats, Jerry! I'm looking forward to following your journey with this bike.

I sure wish that aluminum-esque rear swingarm would find its way over to the Vader 125's ,the gold anodized brake master cyl reservoir on the bars would be nice too. Overall thats a very clean looking bike, and at it's weight point with a few mods that thing ought to really rip - what tranny has it got in it, 4,5, or 6 speed?

The swing arm is steel. I checked it last night with a magnet but it is pretty thick. It's a 5 speed.
