This could be an interesting thread...
I know the old saying is "no replacement for displacement", but what is true karts and minibikes? Is it better to have a built Predator 212 turning 7000-8000 RPM but with a short gear ratio, or a lightly modified Predator 420 turning 5000 RPM with a long gear ratio? Obviously the 212 has the RPM advantage and the weight advantage, but the 420 is putting out more power and torque, just at a lower RPM.
What do you think?
