GO Racing NZ, as of the 21st March still have limited stocks.
http://www.go-racing.co.nz/

With exchange rates & less their 15% GST the price should be a it less.

So is there a new line that GO is coming out with for 2013? I've been wanting to try the GXIIRHO too.

This is part of what was posted on a New Zealand forum by the GO Engines importer, it was posted March 21st 2013.

"It appears GO Engine Co is releasing two new designs over the next few months - the GXII Plus+ and the Cera. We are yet to decide if we will be bringinig these new models in.
GO Engine Co has undergone some major management changes over the last 6 - 8 months, which have resulted in some radical changes in direction as regards design philosophy and target markets.
These new design philosophies are ground breaking, but as yet unproven, and we feel that we need to step back and adopt a wait and see approach to their new product lines before putting them on the market here."

How would a Go 25 (the red one, not the lowlier black RTR one..) stack up against say an OS 25 or a Roma? Mostly just interested in power..

We used to run the Go .25, pretty good power, lots of bottom, decent mileage. Unfortunately the wrist pin breaks out the bottom of the piston too early in life, everyone I sold or ran did this. I can not believe someone would mod and sell these.

the 3 i've seen in aus all lived long n strong lives able to match more expensive engines with ease i power n economy (1 still going with 40lt on it with a rod replacement at 22lt n a rear bearing at 35lt) with nothing more than the usual rod n bearing replacements, it's probably modding n tuning errors for the post above.

I've been planning on getting an Alpha 352 (need to sell some stuff first, and wait for the right deal..), but the Go 25 is being sold off really cheaply at the moment.. (€120 shipped, compared to €175 or so for the Alpha..) I'm not a super uptight racer, so the difference in runtime is irrelevant.. I do however love my Argus, and have the right pipe for the Alpha(0801) - but I have others that would surely work with the Go..

the 0801 is a very good match for the Go 25 6 port

I've only had it on the Argus so far.. Started out trying a few pipes on the Argus, and once I put the 0801 on it, it was like uuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - nitro nirvana....

Been wanting to test it on something else (my RB Fire for ex..)

Need to sell some stuff, and if I can, I might pick up that 25 then.. I seem to recall hearing about them having murderous pinch....

i noticed u have a 086 in your sig, this pipe will give u better economy without to much loss of top end, but isn't race legal for big events. good for club days.

with the pinch heat is your best friend, just feel the chassis under the engine mounts for some heat from your heat gun or engine warmer (competition heat) on the engine & all will be good.
