Size/shape/condition of tracks you intend to race on should be a big factor on how to answer that question...is 80-90hp drivable on a 1/8mi bullring? Is 40hp enough to keep up on a 1/4 - 1/3 - 3/8mi track with big sweeping corners? And if course, most obvious question...how good of a shoe are you? Personally, I consider myself pretty average, ive ran an open 131 Sudam... it was too much power/acceleration for the small bullrings around my neck of the woods, I switched to a lower hp 125 Sudam and have been having a lot of success so far with...less hp makes it a little easier to drive/control and be smooth...how much power does one really need? is anyone really successful over 55hp?

You need 70-80 HP to win on the larger tracks against top competition. We run a Bob Berlin 250 on Gas using a 38mm Tillotson Carburator. Basically a YZ250 Cylinder and head. Wiseco Piston and crank. V-Force Reeds. The cases are manufactured in Bobs' garage. Very reliable and lots of HP. Budget is another consideration. Our experience is the smaller engines (125cc-150cc) require more frequent rebuilds and that the parts are more expensive.how much power does one really need? is anyone really successful over 55hp?
