It's really nice interviewing ordinary people (non-pro racers) which are enthusiasts like most of us out there, and know what their motorcycling life looks like. And really surprising information when she said that the bike can have an engine refresh in 20min, that was just WHAT!! I though she would say like an hour or so, great video though and really awesome bike, every 80s kid dream!

MCN never disappoints. not only for content wise, but a full video in one go, while other channels would cut and edit out stuff, MCN is always pure. its like the viewer is there with the guys talking and it does not feel like a video, it feels more like a story people share to each other and that is amazing.

I used to race this motor and the rs250 engine in a superkart in the early 2000's. Karts are hard on engines with extra fat pipes and lots of grip. We didn't maintain them quite that much though. Beautiful bike.

They probably would fail. All the bits are working 4x as hard to make the power with such a small engine. I bet the mpg would be a shocker.

The (roller) bearing surfaces of the crank probably wear out, so you'd get play in the big end and things would go downhill very quickly from there
