    We all get used to the power and want to update the donk. I may as well wait until the bike needs an upgrade and then go for the next stage kit. Be patient boys.

    aka and fyo luv draggin big donks down the strip,a few of us went the se204s with air ,exhaust ,and ignition upgrades .youll have a bike in the mid90s h.p. but reliable,rideable ,and great economy and not too much from the wallet ,i d be dead if i had the power of stixs and karls in my bike ,they are more mechanical savy then me but remember they are dragsters and can be prone to problems ,but fuck ther e awsome bikes,but dont disregard a simple upgrade that can give u heaps of enjojment .

    I dont see how Jap bikes and harleys racing could even be compared to be honest.. Different type of bike completely. Ive owned both and alot of em, Jap bike is for going fast a HD is all about doing it in style.

    I think that it is good to read everyones different opinions. For someone who has very limited mechanical knowledge(i know where to put the fuel in, lol) and trying to learn more, i find this forum site very good and have learnt lots. With a wide range of mechanical experience from all walks of life, there are bound to be differences, but it is good to be able to get some knowledge and when you go into a shop be able to know a little bit about what you want, so the dealers dont try and rip you off, because you dont know a thing. I thank people for all of their advise, even if it does get a bit heated...and i think that i will stick to my stock 88cube, when it has many km's on it then i will do something with the engine. I dont see any point in doing up a perfectly good engine if it doesn't need it...if it aint broke, dont touch it. If i wanted a fast racing bike i would have bought a jappa, but thats my choise(and i probably would be dead now). I wanted a bike for cruising and reliability. It's not when you get there, but how.
