Nice little 50 cc bike ...

Little 50cc road race bike.  Sounds good at 14,000 RPM.  There's just something about a bike where the tachometer starts at 8K RPM. 

 

 

KPH. Maxed at 160. Not bad for an engine not much bigger than a strimmer/bush whacker. Amazing bikes , those Krielders.

50cc mayhem, coming to a quiet soi near you.  Angry bees! Crazy!

I've been looking into these 50 cc bikes the last few days.  Pretty amazing. They will do about 160 kph, but it takes about a 14 speed gearbox to keep one in the power band, which is about 15,000, +/- 250 RPM. They got to about 350 - 400 horsepower per liter.  Wowie, Zowie!

 

The 80cc and 125cc were cool.  Not as hard to drive as the little ones. 

Nowadays, street bicycles can have 18 or 21 gear-ratios/speeds.

Fancy aero one do 144kph +

I saw somewhere where one record attempt wasn't successful because a bug got splattered on the shell.  Must have screwed up the aerodynamics. (I hope it didn't take out the camera!)

Suzuki had a little rotary valve twin 50 in mid-late 1960's that was pretty good.  They developed a 50cc 3 cylinder V engine (RP68) that was supposed to debut in 1968, but the rules changed to single cylinder only. 380 BHP/liter.

And this is the era when we got crappy looking bike engines, all covered up in fairings. 

I love those little bikes. I was lucky enough to see a 1960s Honda 50cc GP racer. 50cc four stroke, 2cyl, 110lbs. A jewel.

Is the speedo kph or mph?

doesn't matter - when they've used a 'bicycle' speedo! ????  

 

'sounds' like the speed was irrelevant - when its REVs that give the buzz

is that another name for RCV? - which effectively turns a 2 Stroke, into a pseudo' 4 stroke
