Welcome to the forum Hartmanb
You are so right...
Actually it would make a great desert or dunes motor but for a dirt bike it would be a wild child.
Yet, some of the mods we are going to do to it will also give it some decent low end power.
The fact is, I should go down to the garage and do some of the cylinder mods tonight... But I'm too lazy..
