No surging, no hick-ups. When you rev it, it blows. It sputters, backfires, pops..you name it. Not so much sitting still but every time when under load.

What’s more, four-wheelers can survive it all. Scratches, knocks, crashes, you mention it. Heck, ATVs can even roll over and still be okay to drive.
