659cc engine?

This is no Justy. I had a 65 HP 1.2 liter straight 3 and it was very peppy. My favorite story: I was at a stoplight with two lanes. I was in the right lane which went straight when a young guy on a crotch rocket came up beside me in the left lane which was left turn only. I just knew he was going straight and figured my Justy would be no problem. Young guys on crotch rockets aren't that good. I raced motorcycles for years and knew more about what he was doing and he did. When the light turned green he got ahead of me. I wasn't even trying yet. He noticed I wasn't trying and didn't push it. I stayed in second gear and slowly left the revs buildup. When he up shifted I punched it. He realized what I was doing and punched it too but he wasn't in his rev band. I heard that waaa that a bike makes when you're dumping gas into it but your revs are too low to do anything with it. I walked away from him. Bet he was embarrassed.
