Superbyke cruzer 50cc

I have a superbyke cruzer 50cc (A little chinese chopper) and I'm turning 17 soon and can't afford to buy a 125cc but I'd like a bit more power because this just isn't enough. I don't want to de-restrict it I was wondering how easy it would be to change it out for a 125cc engine and what I'd have to do to other parts such as changing the sprockets etc...

I have attached a picture of the bike in case it helps.

I've not modified the bike in any way and neither have any of the previous owners.

what the holy cheese sandwich is that?

looks pretty roomy, but it'd probably be a right pain and look utterly monstrous...even moreso

If that's cub-style engine, then it should be relatively easy to swap engines.
Of course, you'll need to swap the carb, any airbox, exhaust and quite likely need to swap the electrics.

Cheapest way to get all those is buying a complete bike and selling off what's left.

Or, you could just sell your and buy a 125cc bike.

What was going through OP's mind when he set eyes on the bike.

So you all think it would be better to attempt to sell it and buy a new bike? Can anyone recommend a good reliable commuter style 125cc that is relatively cheap?

ybr125, CG125, En125, XR125, City fly 125, cbr125, vara 125. Among the many.

Stick to a Japanese bike and you will be better off.

As has been said look for a nice Japanese 125 and trade that in. As for those of you taking the wee out of the lad's ride, at 16 I would have loved that!

If you have a breakers near you, pop in and ask to look at a 125 pit bike engine..or possibly a 125 'monkey bike'... either should pretty much drop in....(they also do 140cc's and bigger...But Shhhh) Laughing

That's eye catching, but at 16 I had a mountain bike with only one gear so that's me top trumped.... Thumbs Up

Sell it and buy a 125. If you're really tight on cash then there are good chinese 125s out there, but you have to be careful. Give it a month and I might have the trusty RXS100 in my sig up for sale, now those are great learner bikes on a budget Thumbs Up
