you can go up to a 650cc for a single cyl 4 stroke... the lams goes on power to weight ratio... not torque. like in cars.. hp is great for low level flying... but having a bike that wants to rip your arms off at the slightest crack of the throttle is awesome.. and you cant beat a dirt bike in traffic... easier to handle, much better visibilty and can punch into and out of traffic with ease... being able to cut corners on the footpath etc is fun too.

aprilia rs250... looks like an rs125 (which is lams approved) but is twice as fast.. big bikes arent all they are cracked up to be... ive ridden a few and they are fantastic... but i really love my rs125s... the theatrics make it all worth it. they fly, handle well, look great, and you can thrash it through the gears, redlining each time... and still only just be over the speed limit in 5th.. how many big bikes can you wring the neck out of and still be legal?? considering a mates cbr929 will comfortably do 120 in 2nd gear.. and will lift up anytime you crack the throttle.. sure its powerful but wheres the fun?

rs250 looks nothing like an rs125

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I would argue that >300rwkW inevitably comes only with a raised boost threshold that makes it more likely to get beaten by the family SUV with a 95 speed auto transmission and TD torque. Ditto the traction problems when it finally does come on boost. I used to love my stock turbo. A little flex of the ankle and it made a sweet little whistle and you had torque immediately. It wasn't fast fast, but it was more likely to win the "squirt to make the gap" type races that actually matter for a street car. I think >300 rwkW requires more capacity than an RB25 can offer (again, for street driving). I have enough experience with driving 2JZs in that space to know that they are much easier to pedal around in than a 25. I keep thinking Greg did the right thing putting a V8 is his car. I can't see myself not having a turbo - but I'd really like a big engine torque curve.

      This is kinda how I see it also. Could drill down then into sub tags.

      Let's be honest here @GTSBoy 250kW in a GTS-t would easily get walked by my a family SUV these days. 300kW is the sweet spot, fast enough to keep up with the modern German cars (not from a stand still), fun enough and the motor still can be stock/unopened. Realistically, 400kW is a good number. It's enough to give you cold sweats, still be very street able in terms of the power band (provided you're not an idiot and go single scroll and delete VCT) and only needs a very basic rebuild (or stock if you have a NEO motor). Anything more, it starts to be stupid.

      Deals off now apparently https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-13/honda-and-nissan-say-merger-talks-called-off/104934438 Hopefully Nissan closes up soon and the family X-Trail becomes a classic too!

      The west where I live is swarming with birds, not wrong they are bloody loud. In the meantime, do a DIY killswitch - $5 worth of things from jaycar, easy as too. The west is copping it with car theft lately, especially the big shopping centres.
