hello,
I had a Razorback minibike when I was 11. It had a 5 HP briggs.
LOads of fun. somewhat dangerous though, No suspension and No brakes. I drove it on dirt roads and through summerfallow fields.
When I first got it, i was dissapointed that it only went about 5-8 MPH.
I was really handy for my age, so i removed the govonor, and changed the rear sprocket to a much smaller one.
Really boosted performace, power and speed. topped out about 35 MPH after the mods. never injured myself, ALWAYS wore a helmet and boots.
Watch out for the briggs engines.
those morons designed the exhaust pipe to be right above the gas tank. Mine burned up because it backfired with a full tank of fuel. lucky I noticed on time and was able to jump off before she blew.
really miss that crazy thing, would like to find another.
