im still trying to decide to eather do a frame mounted or a rack mounted setup. i havent got a motor yet but im trying to weight out the possibilities.
i think to begin ill go with a rack mounted. just so i can get used to having the motor driving the bike. then ill swap all the stuff to a diffrent bike and get frame mount.
The rack is less vibration, the engines are of a better quality. The frame mount which I have is prone to excessive vibration, the engines are not balanced and some are worst than others. My next bike will be the rack mounted belt drive like the long distance biker Bamabikeguy uses exclusively for his extra long trips. He says he get 250 mpg with his little 2 stroke Tanaka.

Just to keep it clear, the old/no longer available 25cc. Red Max Zenoahs (I still have 2) could get 240-250 per gallon, the Tanaka 33 is in the 170-180 mpg range.
is this a good frame/bike to begin with?

its not a bad bike but not anything special either,maybe a good bike to start with.
my 2-stroke inframe 48cc dualstart starfire gt-2 grubee gets 200mpg
