As underpowered as it is I'm happy with mine. I run it on the highway at 70-75mph for 40 minutes every day into work. After hours it takes me home the long and dirty route. Great bike as it is. More power would be great but not necessary. All that's missing are power wheelies.

So do you think when I put my 47-tooth rear sprocket on that I'll be able to wheelie it? As it is now I have to rev it hard in first, shift into second and rev before letting out the clutch to get the front up at all.

I agree, i feel like mine has just the right amount of power for trails and on road. just needs a little more for good wheelies.

With mine at 300cc, 35mm FCR, full pipe, 47 tooth sprocket(which still isn't as low as the 13/45 combo) and the normal free mods it has enough HP to pull the front wheel up in 3rd gear no clutch with ease. It will also pull 4th up no clutch if I try(if theres a little bump it comes up no prob). This is not shifting through the gears to 3rd. Its pulling the front up in thrid gear.

Its funny how many people on here get so concerned with the HP of the bike. It is a slug at 250cc, but after 300cc I feel it's the suspension department that is really lacking on the bike. And yes I am sprung for my weight.
