50cc friction drive

[snakedoctor]

Honda GXH50

I have a honda 50cc on a staton friction drive and don't notice any difference in handling over the honda 35.
The honda 50 puts out lots of torque.
To me it seems like twice the power of the honda 35.
It is a sweet setup. I even pull an 80 lb trailer up hills.
PS I weigh 200 lbs.

Curious as to what size roller you are using?

I wanted alot of power and very little weight out to the side, so I used a gp460 on a bmp friction drive.

I can barely tell the motor is there and my bike does 42mph totally stock, I have the 1.25in roller and weigh about 170lbs

What is the gp460? where can I see it? and who carries it.
