A Honda scooter with that size engine will still only do 30, and gets 100mpg. On the scooter I gain 4mph top speed in full tuck, with my chin almost on the handlebars.

If the modern P50 were twice as long and half as tall, I bet it would do pretty well. I plan some day to do it with a quad, to get the reverse gear.

Edit: FYI, I'm about the same size as the guy in the video. The girl who owns the scooter gets the same top speed normally as I do at full effort.
