running a nice series2 ts1 with 47 x 19 gp 200 gearbox, i travel 2 up mostly but if i hit a head wind or incline i hav to drop down to third gear to try and keep in the power band
this motor is great if all the elements are in your favour
but would like something with more grunt, and staying power against the elements plus be able to cruise around the 65mph is their anything out their ???

if a TS1 widen the exhaust port to 44mm but dont raise the height, use a 1mm wire ring piston
should give you want you want, possibly look at taking 1mm of the base of the barrell in addition

pete if you are of 'a large frame' ,you could lower the front sprocket as sean sugguested and try the proceed as david blythe says,the ts1 does like to rev freely,try a jl4 exhaust with the 18 sprocket may help.
