It looks to be in excellent shape. Is it a single cylinder with a four valve head? If so, that's a giant piston.

it seems to like pulling the front wheels up for no reason
It's actually a single cylinder, 5 valve, two carb 5 speed manual with reverse. Pretty similar to this engine 686cc of China Muscle Standard piston is 100mm.(so about 4 inches's) They have true dual exhaust kits for them as well as many other go fast goodies but with it able to hit 70-75mph in stock form off the showroom floor I doubt I'll need or want it to go any faster. I put those new tires on it and last night I wanted to take pictures of it but as I backed it out of the garage I noticed it was binding up so off came the rear brakes. I cleaned and lubed and got it all working smooth again even the parking brake which I like to be able to use. It needs some maintenance/repair I think the worst being the lealking oil tank that seems to leak on every single one of these.There is an after market tank I want to get for it soon. It did have a little slop in the steering at the pitman arm but I read it has a tapered spline so I snugged it up a little and it is fine now. I still need to service the chain, change the oil and spark plug. I want to mount a mirror on it so I dont have to look away to long looking back to see if the wife is still behind me.I would lose her easily with the china-blaster I expect her to end up far far behind me with this beast. |

100mm! That's 350 Chev / 5.0L Ford territory.

Actually its liquid cooled as well.
I am so hyped up on taking it up north next week I cant hardly wait, i'm like a kid waiting for christmas morning. The good thing about having to wait is I can do more to it before riding it. |

I suspect I'd probably kill myself on something like that... I've been known to fall down in the middle of the street... |

It looks very good but it has its issues like the paint flaking off at all the welds he rode it in the winter so I plan to take it apart and have it powder coated this winter.
There are some scratches but nothing that shouldnt work out easily. I am concerned about getting hurt on it or just shooting right off the trail and smacking a tree and the wife not seeing me. I know how I am and the first 10-20 minutes will be the most dangerous I'll be having blast and getting a bit crazy with power but hopefully I'll maintain and just ride like an adult. |

Not to jump too far off topic (well, kind of), is that a Sears Twin in the back ground?
