Sorry for no torque numbers! All the places we rang were booked out for ages and these dudes slipped us in quick and dirty last minute and a few bits of their dyno were still being updated. We even had to travel all across town with Tony on the trailer 😂. When the only free dyno is miles away you bag your bags and head there. 🏃‍♂️ Had to get at least get some quick dirty numbers before doing any mods. Just a quick fun thing anyways! Jeffs torque number could make up for the loser HP numbers but I doubt it… Jeff stinks.

You'd be amazed by how shitty the fuel economy of this 650cc engine could be.
