hey guys,
i sent my engine to danny from pocket racing bikes yesterday for some work. he finished it all and sent me a few pics. here are the specs.
-BZM red crank
-BZM standard cases
-BZM reedblock with carbon fiber reeds
-BZM manifold
-BZM 18mm carby
-BZM 50cc 6 port top end
-BZM gold race dome and head
-BZM clutch bell and housing
-BZM pull start
-Polini rep clutch
danny is a top bloke and i would highly recommend him to people that are looking for italian and replica gear. i havnt been dissapointed yet and ive been a customer for a while. he always looks after his customers.

nah its not the stocker, its just a polini rep 2 shoe. ive just got it on there for when i break it in and get used to the power, then i will throw something much better on

with a full polini setup and the one youve got they should be pretty close for straight out horsepower (unmodified). the polini gives the impression that is has alot more power because it seems to have alot better low end and its very "peaky"
but the BZM provides alot of power everywhere (less bottom end i think) and its smoother (it physically seems to vibrate alot less and has a more level powerband).
the 6 port seems to just effortlessly haul you up to top speed where as the polini wants to just throw you around and try kill you
only two polinis ive tried have been seriously tinkered with in the ports and my 6 port is a hybrid so maybe the comparison is a bit skewed but thats how i see it.
im still undecided on what motor ill go with in my next euro. i would have taken the bzm hands down a few months ago but now im not too sure.. the polinis are a surprise honestly. there a heck of a lot cheaper in any case and provide 90% the same performance if not more. gotta remember the top of the line polini motor is around $1200 and the top of the line bzm is almost $2500.
but the bzm is a better design and would be more reliable in the long run im sure. definitely better cooling and the bolt pattern is better. just have to consider whether the extra horsepower or two is really worth the extra $1000 in the long run
in any case youll have a heap of fun with the 6 port. it definitely makes the bike feel like less of a toy and much more of a killer i always get off both of mine laughing a bit because the power is just so rediculous for such tiny bikes.
haha yeah i always have a bit of a laugh when i get off my bikes.
im so glad i didnt pay anywhere close to $2500 for mine, so i dont feel guilty for not going with the polini
