I don't think there's anything too wacky with the subframe but intakes are a pain for sure. Hopefully one day I can ride with a fast derbi and compare. But idk, my stage 6 hobbit will probably touch 80mph when I test/tune it this week. It pulled my arms out of their sockets to 73mph on it's first ride. So I AM hearing you, but I'm also not, understandably. (edited)
