The biggest on a honda nice is 176 for reliability. I'm going to run a 142cc version which essentially is a takegawa 124+r top end on a tjr 62mm crank. Should be good to 85mph or so with 60mph cruising all day.

^ sounds ideal. whos got the parts? there a 4valve head I can slap on there?

Sure there's a 4-valve version. Really, you need to come up with a budget because a full blown honda Nice motor will run you close to 4k I'd think. If you don't have a motor to start with and money burning a hole in your pocket, i'd just suggest you buy it complete from TJR. If you want to do it yourself, buy a complete bottome end from asian concept thai and then get the rest of it yourself.



A 127cc with a +r will be plenty capable for most people and you can score it for a total of about 2k. Add a TJR crank and you're in for about 3k with other necessary mods.



You can build a chinese motor that makes as much or more power, but the longevity and reliability could be in question. While I have a GPX177V2 motor with over 1200 miles on it, it has never given me any trouble. I suspect my nice motor will be stone reliable since I'm not punching the bore out beyond the capabilities to keep it sealed with gaskets.

C'mon, J. What's gonna power the CT for our street ride at Vintage Days? I don't wanna bring a pee-shooter to a Howitzer battle
