Hi
I recently bougth 2003 Yamaha vino 50cc. scooter.
Ive been riding 250 till last year and its a bit of a down grade. But I love it. I just love that retro look and everything.
however, I live in north shore and work at city. I would love to commute on it but being 50cc its almost imposible to get around on the motorway unless its heavly congested.
Ive checked with land transport agency and the police, they both said there is no law for 50cc scooter getting on the motorway. although police said they will fine me if i go to slow.
So I though I might take the challenge of doing a engine upgrade so it can speed upto around 90km/hr.
I know, by the time I finish working on it, it will probably cost same as (if not more) just buying the bigger scooter but, I love the look of my scooter (givin it at custom front headlight panel already and everything) I dont think I can settle for anything else now.
New at playing with bike. and I thought this wld be a great place to find out where to find parts etc.
I would appriciate any comments or advice. with which engine to start with.
or even this whole idea is preposterous?? to work/ maintain etc etc.
I might just do the work at my workshop as i like to believe myself as a bit of a handy man, (done car engine swaps etc etc)
You guys had been fantastic hlep last time, and I know you guys will be this time too!
Thanks very much guys!
Please help =)
