Well finally one needed to be driven at work, the demo was started and shut off so much the plugs went bad, so I put new plugs in it and took it around the block to see how it ran… it was different, I keep trying to put my feet down at lights haha but the no front brake lever will confuse you non-bike people. the rotax 990 moves decent but like any rocket no real power intill 4500 and up. ![http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t4/87conquestTSi/spyder.jpg](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t4/87conquestTSi/spyder.jpg) yellow was a demo ---
