By the time the mains came, she was purring. It makes lots of power throughout the powerband, and....wait for it....great mileage out of a Picco! Its good for about 8 minutes right now, but is nowhere near being broke in completely. I'm confident 10+ run times are in the future when it loses some of its pinch (flywheel still gets stuck on the starter box).
One last thing, it sounds nasty, absolutely crispy evil noises comming out of this little beast. Like a well tuned KX125.
Give it a shot, its tough to find an Italian motor/pipe combo at such a great price.
picco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
