Steve is making a murder cycle for the grandkids with 212cc, gotta stop as well as go. Lemme at RevZilla played with these kind of cycles several years ago and I think they dropped a Predator 250cc motor in one. Lemme is crazy though...

 I saw it and looked for a while, The 3hp when it was running scared the grandma half to death. We'll give it a try with the little motor. and the XR70R will be the step up.

 I have it ready to go except the 5/8" to 3/4" clutch adapter sleeve which is due tomorrow. I got the little motor on, the Honda seat bolted on, it starts and runs. Kill switches wired, etc. Hopefully it also stops good enough.

 Success! The two small grandkids rode the minibike today. We began with them rolling it downhill with no motor, next we started it on flat ground. The cheapo brake lever keeps loosening from the handlebar, and they are used to a quad with a thumb throttle but all in all it's a success.
 Both were a little overwhelmed and found it difficult to turn, so do I. I got them on the Honda XR70R, they didn't ride it but they are nearly as close to touching the ground on it. Next spring for sure.
