What would be the top speed of an 82 R' stock?

Looks like the deal is struck and I should have my 82 R' later this week! 80 bucks. LOL!

Maybe I'll jack this one up and make another chopper?! J/K - this one is going as low to the ground as possible!

But yeah, stock top speed anyone? Just to get an idea anyway - the one I'm buying has been bored over so I dunno if it will be a touch quicker then stock or not.

So - compared to say my 250 Big Red - how much of a power difference am I looking at? Like, will I jump on this thing and pin it thru 5 gears and be like 'JESUS CHRIST - compared to my big red this thing is insane!' or will it just be a subtle difference?

AND - how will this thing stand up to say my buddies Kawasaki 700 Utility quad or a 750 Brute Force?

A BIG power difference.Compared to your big red, It will be the first reaction you said.I know when i first got mine it scared the *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* outa me it accelerated so fast. My R compared to my 400 the R just is a absolute monster. I have raced my neighbors 2008 Polaris 500 H.O. and smoked him..You will probly be ahead of the quads until you top out.

The difference between the R and your big red would be like driving a Cavalier and then getting into a Corvette.

Are 400ex hubs the only ones that will fit?

300ex, 400ex, theres probly others too but these give a wider stance.

ahh yes, hubs! I'm really interested in knowing what I need to do the 'conversion' so that I can run 1 piece rims on the bike!!

You will love it, I mean for $80 how can you go wrong.

You must not have a conscience. I know I would feel bad for for stealing from someone like that ;) :lol:

Check these out, a little spendy but would be cheaper than buying a wider axle.

So they would work and allow me to run one piece rims?

Haha, I hear ya. I'm pretty bad though, the kid is 17 and looking for some back to school money or something - plus he's been chased by the cops a few times on the trike. So when I asked about the bike he asks for 100 bucks but I told him - 'Dude, it's an 82!! The muffler needs to be replaced and *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* - 80 bucks!

He's like, ok - cool. :twisted:

Does the 82 really run a 2 peice rim? You gotta be kidding me?

Not kidding you at all. All three of the rims on my 81 are two piece. Did any of the Honda trikes run a one piece rim before 83?
