OK, I am a road and mountain biker but new to motorized bikes.
Also, I have limit knowledge of small engines (one of the reasons
I want to try this, so I can learn)
My question is about engine size/performance.
I see 50cc and 70/80 cc motors being sold, but some websites say the 50cc will run faster than an 80cc, please explain in lay terms how this can be.
Also, should I invest in a 4 stroke over a 2 stroke, which is better and why?
Do 2 strokes have problems, do they run dirty?
I am 5'8, 140 lbs, riding to school on flat roads in a small town in north Texas.
Bottom line, what is a good entry level engine that won't break my bank.
I don't mind building and installing.
Speed is not a great issue, but we all know going fast is FUN.
Thanks for your help,
Johnson
