its strong and reliable. it dont have a high top speed but it gets there fast. it beats all the esr hondas i ride with out the hole but then they gain and blow my doors off. i was happy with ftz. they had pretty quick turn around. that was in 07 though. i heard they dont do atv very often anymore. just sprint cars. after carl done some work for me on my 91 im sold on bartlett racing for my 250's.
