They need to make a separate class for the CRT bikes, without all the electronics help. Then i'd bet Nicky would stand a chance. Gone are the days of having an advantage because you could steer with the rear and control the throttle.

My last lawn mower/garden tractor John Deere had a Kawasaki engine on it, 17 hp twin, liquid cooled with a plastic camshaft when I bought it, had a steel camshaft when I sold it, almost $500 later and that's with dealer cost on parts. :( But it did have a ported and milled heads which did add to it's happy ratings!!

Having worked on many a yard and garden implements over the years,"Dad ran a dealership" and I'm not being prejudiced! Honda is absolutely the worst engine I've ever had the chance to swap out for any thing! They do make a damn good motorcycle engine and a pretty good bike but they need to stay out of lawn care and pressure washers!!!
