Okay all you enablers. I got 2 bikes. - Page 6

Here is a 192cc, but it is only a 2 valve head. I believe that I can probably keep up with freeway traffic with this.

The DOHC kit. Here is the real cost. I could be a real nice CT70 instead.

I wonder how stable the little bike will be at those speeds?

Weldangrind · 11-23-2010, 01:30 AM

At $1,999.95, I'm not ever going to find out. I'm a China Rider.

katoranger · 11-23-2010, 08:49 AM

I don't think I want to find out past about 50-55mph. That to me seems like the upper limit on 10" wheels. About like a 150cc scooter.

The 125cc is suppose to be able to achieve that level.

Jim · 11-23-2010, 02:47 PM

Right on, if I use mine for commuting next year I should need anything over 80km/h max, most is under 70km/h... Not sure when mine will be done, or how the 70 will do.

katoranger · 11-23-2010, 04:17 PM

I think you should be able to attain those speeds. Maybe just swapping sprockets. They are geared low for off road use.

55 more cc's will fix it.

Jim · 11-24-2010, 02:18 AM

Not sure what to do with the registration and insurance then? And then it definitely won't qualify for collector plates..

Weldangrind · 11-24-2010, 11:01 AM

I think all you have to do is report to ICBC that you've repowered it. They might ask you to have it inspected, but I doubt it. They'll change the classification on the regi to reflect that it's a 125. It's the same as if you dropped a 350 into an S-10.

Yeah, collector plates won't be an option after that, unless you qualify for modified collector. There is now a provision for old cars that are running non-original motors.

katoranger · 11-25-2010, 10:56 AM

They don't even ask here. I will qualify for antique plates too. No inspections either.

Now you can find cylinders that don't have the cc stamp and some that are marked wrong.

Weldangrind · 11-25-2010, 11:00 AM

Yeah, we could probably be stealthy about it around here, but I choose to play it straight up. I don't need any insurance hassles.

katoranger · 11-25-2010, 11:04 AM

The insurance company asks me. I will tell them is a 125 even though the vin says 70. The cost is the same for me. The tag office just wants what the vin says.

Jim · 11-26-2010, 11:10 PM

Yeah I'm not too worried about it... I'll have to wait till it's going to see how I feel about it at 70...

I don't think it would make a huge cost difference here either, except being exempt from the collector status, modified may work.

If a person were to buy a pit bike with a 125 cc motor to swap into a trail 70, would the 125 have a lighting coil to charge the battery and run the lights? Would other parts be needed?
