Yes, you should.  When you get up we can talk about the longevity benefits of piston-port induction and steel clutch components.

Actually,I'd like that.Maybe after we're done thrashing that about we can discuss the superiority of a 1bbl flathead engine as compared to a modern day dohc efi unit. ::)

Well, I'm not going to argue flat-head, but I can tell you you'll never get a DOHC motor to work properly in top-fuel!  Ford tried to field a SOHC engine for a period, but they were so much more complicated than the pushrod Hemi that the mechanics didn't have time to do what they needed to do between races, and they often had trouble running smoothly on the strip.  They only time they beat the Hemi, was also the time they got Ford factory backing, and set a top-fuel budget record that stands to this day. :D

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

Hey, I've done some serious ass-kicking in Forza 3 with my '70 Challenger at Laguna Seca. :D

Besides, you were talking about the motor, not the chassis and suspension around it that take it around turns.

If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.
