I'm looking for a BRAND NEW 250cc engine. also a cheap 50cc Scooter engine. Cause when I get the 1976 a100 gofer this weekend. I want to stick a scooter engine on. just so I Can take it to the DMV office and get it legalized as a "scooter" than for fun, change it out with a 250cc but I want a good 250cc that I can connect to my key start.

Note: I'm not gonna ride the 250cc on any major highways/freeways I just want something that I can take on the backroads and go very fast :)

Links/Engine brands-types would be nice.

This could get you in some serious trouble with the DOT. Why not buy a street legal dirtbike and use it's motor and all electrical hookups? They will probably register it as the bike.

Because I can afford a motorcycle, I can afford the gas, At my AGE and being a MALE, I can't afford the insurance. As far as I'm aware, there's no rules with reg. as a moped. than dropping a bigger engine into a moped being "illegal" I figure if I follow the road rules, don't do stupid ****. I shouldn't have a problem with local cops. Tags - Driving safely = Don't normally get in trouble. - plus Only will use the bigger engine -250cc- on small roads/private prop. and use the normal default 96cc for going back and forth to work. - max 65mph -

so the main issue is, having a motorcycle and its license and the insurance, I'm working in the grey area of the DOT's and local DMV's rules. not smart. but in till they make a law against upgrading a mopeds engine to a bigger one. I shall ride my "moped"! plus I might not go so big as a 250. maybe a 150. just to get at lease 80MPH.

I just think its BS they require insurance, and the insurance company charges you out the A$$ for something that your using to get around. its your risk's, and your hide. Even when you get in a crash or what not. they still don't PAY for everything. even tho you've been paying them for over 10 years! - mom was in car accident and got screwed by the insurance company. -if anything they should be cheaper, = less gas usage = less emissions. = eco friendly!
