What he is saying is who cares. You can sup up a yugo and outperform a r8 if you put enough money in it. But why would you? Spend the money and buy the one made for it, my wife started on a 50 cc scooter to learn balance comfortably but when it got to small i didn't run get a 420cc engine from harbor freight and say ok there you go. Cause it wasn't made for it. Yea i could have, i have a friend who did and on takeoff 30-50 feet it dusts my 12 w a big bore but in the end its still a scooter. (Catch up ill wait). Im saying its a great little bike don't get me wrong but in the end its still an entry bike. Ride a modded gsxr 750 and try to tell me yea just as good. You can make **** look like coal but they just don't burn the same
