Cross Country Preparations

The Dr. MadAss crew is headed off on a cross country expedition to test the MadAss 125 and the POC/HMF BadAss exhaust system SEE A VIDEO HERE. Our journey will start in San Diego, CA at Motorsport Scooters where we will be launching and riding a MadAss 125 from the West Coast to the East Coast. Our initial plan is to cover about 400 miles per day. The bike is essentially stock with a few modifications made for freeway practicality. We've installed the POC 39 tooth rear sprocket and 15 tooth front sprocket which gives us a much better touring speed. We've swapped the stock carb for a 26mm Mikuni and abandoned the stock airbox. We've installed the new POC/HMF BadAss pipe which we'll be testing along side the stock pipe and a lightly modified stock pipe as we travel. This type of real world testing should give us practical results and a real sense of durability.
