Status: offline 		how do you guys like the NOVAROSSI P5 ? i found one for $235 and was wondering if it a good deal? im running on a tight indoor track and want something that really pulls at the bottom end. im getting the XB8 this week and want to give it a new heart. i want to stay w/ Novarossi or RB only. I see you guys speak a lot about the P5 thats why i wanted to know how good it keeps a tune and what the power is like???

Status: offline 		It's an awesome motor. And get em now before the prices go back up. Bottom end stump puller- and with an 9886 pipe it will make the top end sing.

Status: offline 		Hyper- It's a great price. They usually sell and will be selling again once the right distributorship handles them again for $279-ish. I've seen em as low as $199 on eboy but that was a once time deal I think. Once all these P5's are blown out- Fusion will be handling all of the Nova and Top P5's in the states and the prices will go back up again.

Status: offline 		I got one for 195 But it was used with a new piston sleeve. It is not even close to run in yet and I already like it.
running rich and maybe an 1/8 turn from 4 stroking it will actually just clear the triple at my track.
It is sort of like a little more than on OS rz on the bottom and almost a S7 on the top.

perfect engine in my humble opinion.

I love using my S7 but it is a work out. I liked the VZb's when they weren't warn out and I always liked the rz I have. this P5 is all the best attributes for all thoses engines at the same time.

How the new Vspec compares time will tell. I hope OS got it right this time and they last as long as a nova does.

Status: offline 		in the listing the only diff i saw was the lightened crank? and me personally i hate the sissy purple head. i got a savage and had that color then i got the hyper and the same crap. i just dont think its to manly to have the purple on my bug. heck i guess you could paint it pink too...

Ya know what my mistake, that is the standard Nova P5 not the REX version
the REX and TOP are the same, this one is slightly different
