I havent tried it yet, but I intend to. I like the idea of a quieter engine, and of course the oil resevoir will make those akward "out of fuel" moments a little less akward. Id sacrifice power for dependability any day.

I just received my 4 stroke HuaSheng. I've only had it running for 1 day but I love this bike so far. Not just the engine but the frame too. Most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. Larger frame with no bending over the bike. The engine is extremly smooth and quite. I'll post a follow up in a few weeks regarding the clutch as I intentd to take it to town often (an 8 mile trip). Spooky tooth bikes are evolving and getting better and better. What doesn't work is thrown out and what does work will stick around until something better comes along.

I sure hope the good people at Spooky tooth don't get pissed with I try to upgrade my order to include a 4G !!! I was impatient as always, but i live in the city of the east coast... The Piedmont which translates as "hilly land" Anyway I search the internet while I was waiting and realized it's much better to start off with your ideal setup. Can't wait to pull up to the pool this summer!!
