A-ko, you’re looking at about 30 I think, if it’s in good running good. For what it’s worth, my setup was a stock E50 (1-speed, not the 2-speed the XK probably has), a rejetted 12mm carb into a 14mm manifold, removed the plate in the intake, and a proma circuit pipe. With a friend driving behind me I was clocked at 37 on a slight decline – really the only true modification from stock was the pipe (see http://www.mopedarmy.com/photos/brand/2/3974/)

The advantage to the 2-speed engine is it’s significantly quicker off the line. If you do end up getting the mag and you don’t mind the louder exhaust, I highly recommend the proma circuit. It doesn’t give you anything in the low end, but the mid-range is out of sight for acceleration – simply fun when you hear the engine ramp up!
