      If you'd really like to know RBG (Redbeards Garage) has a dyno video on each engine. The price per hp you get with each engine I'll pass on the ghost engine. The performance kit is also way over priced in most opinion, except the ones who don't know.

    Lmao Ghost costs $500 with kit. Bought my predator 212 on sale for $89 4years ago, did a governor/oil sensor delete, $120 billet flywheel, $25 billet piston, $25 flattop piston, $50 hot265 camshaft, $40 exhaust, $12 pulse pump, $15 22lbs valve springs, and a $35 stage 1 kit. Out runs my buddy's Ghost by 5-10 mph for less money and better quality parts.

      I don’t get why people use such small n shitty engines with those shitty centrifugal clutches n cvt’s. I mean you could just buy a broken 1000cc bike with a running engine, get the engine n electronics, build a shifter n clutch paddle n have way more fun n it would probably cost same or even less since old broken 1000cc bikes are damn cheap. Like you’d have so much more power n torque and by being able to shift you can always get to best gear ratio n even get a good start with having the clutch.

      @DP enduro idk if a two stroke would be so ideal in Go karts, since ya need torque for getting out of corners which a two stroke doesn’t really have, but then again it’s maybe enough cc for a go kart.
