So we'll executed! What's the top speed on one of those swapped rucks?

I have not done a top speed run. I would assume 75+MPH is possible. I've hit 65 with ease.

"The top speed of the machine was limited to 70-75 mph (about 113–121 km/h) but the drivetrain was of an under-stressed design allowing extended running at or near top speed." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CN250Should be pretty similar in the Ruck. Top speed is not usually dramatically affected by weight. If you tried to put the engine into a pickup truck it would reduce speed a crawl, but ~100lbs difference should keep it pretty close to what the original was capable of. The Ruck should win a drag race with a regular CN250 though. I think these engines are rated at about 17HP. A race 2T would smoke it all around... but the big Honda engine wins by a landslide for reliability. I'd imagine you could take these Rucks to work everyday or cross country if you wanted to. Would not advise that on a race built 2T or GY6. |

I think twice before riding my GY6 to Houston and that's like 25 miles away 😂

I was able to do a quick test start today! Always a relief to know it runs again after rebuilding a harness.
