The thing is, when I change the sprocket to a smaller sprocket, I can attain the increase in MPG, AND gain top speed, in second to last gear.
If I go down from 42T to a 30T, acceleration from a dead stop will be a bit harder, but once moving, I can rev the bike higher, when I need to accelerate faster, and probably in 4th gear can get to the same gear ratio as the stock racing bike in 5th gear.
Right now, for two wheelers, I got:
1- Beach cruiser bike with 33cc 2stroke engine (moped)
2- TaoTao ATM50
3- TaoTao EVO150
4- Roketa MC-05-127
5- Honda VT750
I sold:
1- Extreme XB-700Li
2- BMS TBX260
And the MC-D250-TRC-B (naked bike) is probably arriving by next week.
I think I'm stepping down on scooters. Keep the ATM to do groceries, and keep the 127cc for now as a backup bike. The EVO I'll keep in case a friend of mine wants to do a ride, but doesn't have a ride. The 750cc I keep for longer distances.
I think I got all my bases covered, but if the 250cc naked bike proves reliable, then I might sell the 127cc. Too many tags becomes annoying.
I might also want to sell my beach cruiser, it's been rotting in the garden. With the scoot/motorcycle fleet like I have, there's no reason not to get rid of it.
