The easiest might be a whole engine transplant. If all the engine mounting tabs are the same it might be a simple R+R.

Mmmmmm.. I reckon the best way is to part ex the 125 for a 250. It's not just the engine that's different, the 250's got a twin manifold, so it'll need a new exhaust. Also, if you get a 250 from a dealer, you'll get a 12 month warranty.

Yeah, it will be a complete engine transplant hopefully... Easier said than done no doubt :whistle:

Cannot buy 250's over here Alantf.. They are like budgie teeth.

That being the case it might be possible to pick up a wrecked 250 with an intact engine and exhuast system. You would then have the carb, air box and any other odds n ends that would need to be switched over. That is assuming wrecked 250's are not in high demand.

If only that were the case Water Warrior, even salvage companies cannot get hold of them because all 250's over here are all imported. They are incredibly rare and very few are ever sold.

It is a matter in the Uk of having the vehicle inspected and then re-registering it with the DVLA asa 250.

Re: My baby 125.....
 
That is a bit of a dilema. Are there any other 250 bikes that are more common that would suit your riding purposes ?

Re: My baby 125.....
 
There are not many 250's over here that are to my taste really. The only one I have really considered is the Hyosung Aquilla 250. Mulled it over for a while but would really like to keep hold of my own if possible.... Plus im kinda looking forward to the challenge a little.
