goal for range??? I live in a very small town, it is 22 miles to the nearest city (and it is not all that big of a city) so to be useful it would need a range of somewhere around 50 miles.
As for speed?? 40 to 45 miles per hour would be fine if i take the back roads (the shortest way is down the interstate which would require at least 55) - if i don't try and go out of town it becomes a mute point - it is about 4 miles from one city limit sign to the other (the long way) and i live about the middle.
The final drive ratio on the shaft drive Yamaha is 2.92 to one and the drive shaft is on the left side of the motorcycle so it turns counterclockwise going into the final drive unit. I agree that a shaft drive would be much cleaner but that would involve a lot of machine work while a chain and sprockets is so simple - perhaps once i get the electrics worked out and understand how that part works i might attempt a drive shaft model.
