Marcos, The little Harleys are not fast. Unless you make them so. But there are many things that will slow them a lot, The most easily forgotten is carbon. These bikes will "carbon up" over time and though it is a chore to remove you will like the boast if that is the problem. Remove the muffler, and the header pipe. Look in each and into the cylinder-exhaust connection if you see obstruction call back There are relitively easy procedures to clean them But DON'T gouge the metal. The muffler originally came apart, but often have been welded together.. Search on group for "cleaning muffler" , "decarbonizing" I remember previous discussions. Doug ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I live in the island of Puerto Rico and have been looking for this hummer for a few years.they are two in the island and i finally got it, last week.After checking your site i now know that is a (57 b 1878).After a few hundred kicks the bike started, after a while being in idle i ran the bike but for my disapointment its not that fast.Won't even get out of my driveway slope.HOW FAST THEY REALLY GO? HOW STRONG ARE THEY? (POWER WISE).IF SOME ONE CAN GIVE SOME POINTERS THANKS.
