It’s not premoto3. He talks about how the 450gp is made for adults and the premoto3 were made for 12,13,14 year old kids. Plus it’s pretty obvious it’s a 160 rear tire

not Stan
the translation is "it still feels tiny because of its premoto3 chassis". that whole bike is a frankenstein. premoto3 chassis, 450 engine, maybe a new swingarm for probably a wider rear wheel, a 16" front wheel, and Supermoto tires. its prob fun for kart tracks. but itd be silly to assume that setup is optimized for a full size track, ie its slow.
the one in your OP and others on their Facebook look to be setup for big tracks. I wanna c a vid of those. itd apply a lot more to this thread. unfortunately, even that bike isnt any larger than a real Moto3 bike. the wheelbase is the same and total length is just a bit longer because of the larger tires.
