    Im not saying its impossible but 135mph on a three wheeler, hell even a quad would be insane. I get my T3 to 70 and start to get a little weary! I can get more but couldnt immagine going twice as fast! If its true and dude , if you are reading this show me some solid proof and Ill trade you my boat with a jet motor on it. My motor alone is worth 6 grand so bring on the proof and its yours!!!!!!

    Well, according to: http://home.earthlink.net/~gellett/atc350x.htm you ONLY have to get her to rev to around 18,500 RPM with stock gearing and 20" tires, I wouldn't say he has balls of steel, but if he got it even remotely close to that I'd say he has balls of shrapnel (which I suppose could technically contain a few bit and pieces of steel) along with a few holes to match the ones in his story...

    I live about two hours away and have debated with myself to go up there and rip this guy to shreds. I emailed him and he told me to mind my business if I wasn't interested in buying it.

    I always love this:

    "bike needs to be timed no hours on fresh rebuild"

    So in fact it doesn't go 135, it doesn't even run right. He obviously doesn't work on engines or he would take the 10 minutes to time it and get it running right. Does that mean it comes with the top end in a box, or somebody timed it wrong and found out the hard way it was off?

    don't take this wrong because the ad is full of BS. i just want to say that 135 MPH may not be that hard to reach on an engine like that (if built right). i had a 350X to 107 MPH. the engine was stock bore and stroke but did have a nice cam, piston, valve springs and exhaust. we were trying to see just how fast we could get it to go with the engine built the way it was. i had 25 inch tires on the back, 14T front sprocket, 37T back sprocket. when we were up to speed the back tires were ballooned so tall they were rubbing the back fenders and almost to the heels of my feet so that made them over 25 inches tall total. the poor 350X ran out of power before we ran out of RPM. if i had the power to run it to its full RPM like a (correctly built big CC 350X engine) i think it would have ran at least another 15 to 20 MPH. i never done the math to see what RPM the engine was running but if someone knows how i would like to know. it didn't sound like it was screaming, maybe 4000 area if i was to guess.
