For me, I wish they were widely available back in 2018. Amazing what I got done with my mountain trails in the first 2 years. And I am...

Well, both are correct in certain circumstances. Super-light machines are very different than minis that way tons: you can easily drag...

The 420cc gas engines idle at about 2000 RPM, and produce full rated power at 3600 RPM. I find you are making decent power at 3000 RPM...
