Robin Subaru Fricton Drive.

[JJ 75d]

I've got 5 to 6 hrs on the motor and love it. I've ridden motorcycles 40 yrs now. Really stpped enjoying riding. My new MB reminds me why I was so wide eyed as a kid. Guess sometimes you gotta slow down to speed up. Have no complaints about My kit. Staton had it to me in 3 days. Easy install, All the parts needed. Keep it simple.

That is what I believe to be one of the best drive-trains available !!

Ordered mine yesterday. I was torn between this kit or the 49cc 2 stroke kit by DAX. Dave had kits in stock and I needed it for next week so that cinched the deal. I'm convinced that rear friction drives are the way to go for most of us.

Robin engine w/same kit & 1.125" roller was my first gas engine build. This was on a 20" Dahon folder bike and ran 27 mph on a slight decline.

Now I run 40+mph on that same road w/Tanaka 47R and shift kit.

I had the same gas tank. Excellent to fill up every two weeks.

Someday I'll dig out the Robin and mount it on something.

Tanakas are $$$$$$ even more than a honda. they must be great motors.

Tanaka 47R engine is an EXTREMELY rare engine. If purchased ala kart, this racing engine's cost can be close to $900. I bought mine for $375 complete/new. However, in this tight economy, used 47R's can be cheap, up to $200+. I bought a ported one for $115.

I'm 64, and expect these two engines to outlive me.
