Ok guys i have been eyeballing this bike for awhile now. www.motobuys.com/ninja-50-scooter.htmlI have a perfectly good 150cc gy6 with rear drum 13" wheels on my current bike i would like to swap into the above frame. They offer a 150 version of this bike also, but it is out of my price range. Judging by the pics my current 150 should bolt right in place.... My plan is to swap the engines and frames and give the old frame and new 50cc engine to the GF to learn on. Now my question is has anyone here got experience with these new "ninja" style frames? If so, does this swap seem possible with minimal effort? (IE, no weld/fab)

You're going to have to swap out alot more than just the engine just my thought but you can get a really nice 150cc for the price of that 50 or less

I prefer the sportbike riding stance, which is why i want to swap my nice 150 into this frame. Im talking about unbolting the entire engine assembly from the frames and swapping. My current bike can be found in the show us your scooter for reference.

From what I've been told, the frames are different

The engine mount is different on the two, you have to modify the frame mounts from below to above the engine. I do not know if those particular designs have non-standard mounting points.

Looks like it may be time to brush up on my welding and machining skills at work then... Projects like this can be fun or a nightmare, lets hope I can make it fun.
