    We usually have one at CEE on display, if Jim or myself aren't riding it.....

    Feel free to come take a look, they retail new for $6500. We'd also be more than happy to show y'all the ins and outs of it since it's a tad bit different than the UV's.

    As for speed, Jim made the Hinkel in 12 mins on an RB, I was the slowpoke at 13 mins on OC.....

    Safe diving,

    Rich

    P.S. Yes, the first run was sold out and I believe the second run (May?) is either sold out or close....

    Education, enjoyment and exploration.....

    Default sounds fun

    Wonder how the scooter feels in the water? At the high speed, is there a lot of rotational velocity?

    Really sounds fun.

    Not really interested in selling body parts, but for a nominal contribution, I'll stop wearing speedos around the parking lot at Ginnie.

    It doesn't have a lot more torque than the N-19, since you can go up to full speed in three steps.

    Default speed vs torque?

    Thanks for the input. So torque is not an issue of speed? I would think the faster the speed, the greater the torque? I'm clueless, so please forgive the silly questions.

    The torque is always there on any scooter. Once you get moving, you can counteract it by shifting where the tow cord goes through your bolt snap that connects to your crotch strap.

    I'll throw in a buck!

    As a pastor I am amazed that some of my best communions with God are when I am in the underworld!

    The few times I ran it all out I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, other than thinking, "Don't look to the side or you'll lose your mask!"

    Don't forget Russell rides a crotch rocket, so his "uncomfortable" may be a little higher than most. I was constantly having to duck...

    yes, thank you.

    My question was more directed to understand how the scooter feels at higher speeds. Specifically, was there more torque then at lower speeds.
