Talking Some advice wanted from the experts

I am looking at getting a Baja Reaction (i guess thats the model) 150 from someone in modesto. It needs a new piston and rings and who know WHAT else...

Anyway, If I get it, I read somewhere that the top speed for it is around 40mph. I am 230lbs and will be driving alone, so I'd expect the speed to be around the 30-35 mark. What can I do to get more speed out of it if I get it?

I'd like to go trail riding with my dad and brother in their Jeeps, but I want my own vehicle. I HAVE a Honda CRX, but I don't think it will do to well in mud and narrow trails.....

The seller want $500 for it.....I guess that's a good price for it but I'll offer $350 and see what happens. I love to go mudding with the Jeeps and Chevys around here but I want something I can drive and still have more fun. They go 10mph while I fly by straight into a mud puddle at 40.....Later finding mud in my crack. BTW, I cannot figure out HOW it gets there when my shirt, pants & interior of the vehicle isn't muddy?

So in summary of my post....How do I get higher speed? Sorry for a long post. I'm bored and tired....

Well what can be done depends on what you want to spend. You can want this or that but whats the piggy bank talking about. The gy6 I just sold was a 1600 dollar motor and I could have put another 600-1000 in it if I wanted. You can do a good motor for far less so your budget is the key.
