Scooters are practical and all, but could one ever hold its own with sport bikes on a racetrack? In the latest harebrained CTXP adventure, Ari and Zack modify a 2009 Yamaha TMAX scooter to compete in a local race against Ninja 400s, KTM RC390s, and the rest of the small sport-bike kingdom.

  1. great video
    tuning scooter transmission to be as close to peak power as possible is tricky. especially when you're coming out from the corner, over the ideal rpm and you would quickly lose acceleration later, under the ideal engine speed, it would be sluggish to come out from the corner.

  2. Another STUPENDOUS adventure with Ari and Zack!! That was awesome and I loved it from start to finish, just like all the other CTXP/Ari/Zack builds and adventures! The support by RevZilla is completely appreciated. Cheers!!
