On the vid Ride Home you can tell a little.
When I start off 1st and 2nd get revved to just barely on the cam.
The tone starts to change around 3000rpm and is starting to talk at 3500. I pulled 1 and 2 to around 4500. So just a little of on cam talk. You do realize this is a 7500rpm motor and there is a lot more to go. I rarely get it up that high in normal driving. What your see there in Ride Home is pretty much my normal hot take off. I like to hear it turn on and right after it turns on I stick the next gear.
I could drive around and never even get to the cam turn on point.
The Natchez Trace vid is at a low gurgle for the 50mph speed limit there. You can not hear the engine over the wind noise.
Hmmmm ... maybe getting on the cam is affecting your MPG's ... although, I'm fairly certain you didn't build this for economy ... :laugh:
I don't know what would make you think that.

I'd agree, Reba when parked....but Cherry Bomb when the pedal hits the metal!
Went and rode with my little sister today (her birthday)

I guess the whole time we were riding away from the rain. Did get her home before getting wet. Did have to turn around and go a different route.
But I was not so lucky. Was still 20 miles from my home. Almost the whole way in a good hard rain.
Scooter handled it though. The electronics are not all waterproof. But everything stayed working while wet.
It did wet me down good through. Looks like the rooster tail from the front tire goes straight onto the crank pulley and it in turn makes a circular spray right across the calves.....filled my shoes up.
It is scary loose on the back end though, feels solid but just a touch on the throttle and it is spinning. The skinny front seemed to stay hooked up and steerable.
Here is an interesting one.
Stopped on the side of highway to start some pocket video.
So putting along in second waiting on a car to pass by.
Well he got over to let me in.
I give it a squirt of gas.
And then he starts coming over on me.
I back off and go around him on the far side.
I suppose he did not expect the to instantly be at 60mph (rural highway speed here).

It do bark a tad.
