Here is a TOP SPEED run on the Honda Express-SR 50. This is one mean little bike! Notice the throttle technique needed to get the engine RPMs right where I needed them in order to set the Honda 50cc world record. The wind was brutal at this speed.

It's a good thing we had the roads shut down by the local law enforcement for this event.

THE HONDA WILL possible run a little more rich with oil once the air filter is placed back on the carburetor. For this top speed timed run the bike in the video was running an illegal unrestricted air configuration. Your adjustments might vary from the setup on this bike once you install your own air filter. I recommend a UNI foam filter that you can guy at just about any motorcycle shop. They make displays with universal filters hanging on them for sale and you should be able to find one to fit your carb without any problem.

Have fun and watch out for John Law and his radar gun.
