You have a lot more leverage to lean with on a bike (displacing your weight across the entire surface area of the body) versus being stuck upright on a tiny wheel, you'd have very little influence on it's course of direction.

um? last time i checked dirt bike had single cylinder engines and they can go 70mph + (and thats 125cc)

im assuming its more like 50-100cc. but even that my little brothers go kart has 5 hp and reach about 35-40mph (gps calculated)

i wouldnt exactly call 35-40 mph "all that fast"

also it doesnt appear that there is any gear shift mechanism. with 1 gear, chances are it tops out relatively low.

just my observances.

i never said 35-40mph was fast. what i ment to say was only having 5 hp and going 35-40mph is fast.

40 mph on that thing would be suicide.

you proved my point, that 40 MPH isnt really classified as "fast" in your standard vehicle, but on this it would be.
