    Fiddy horse from 125cc? That's quite a bit!

    Yeah, 50 hp from a 125 would be great, I just don't think it can be done. If you got to somewhere in the 20-30 hp range that would be a good deal.

    Being a liquid cooled engine, how are you going to cool that RM motor? Run a small radiator of some sort?

    Cooling generally isn't an issue on 3 cut race saws.;)

    Race saw? If I built one of those, I'd be using it as the motha' tree bucker.

    Interesting project. Some RM125s are in the 40 horse range stock.

    Just build a radiator in a backpack and wear it on you. Seems like a win win for all.:hair::wacky::bug:
