Interesting topic....... First off, many folks buy a 50cc scooter because of the law involved... Getting a "bigger bike" negates the purpose of buying cheap transportation without hassle........ No extra license or rules to follow.....) Once you mod the 50 to go faster than the law allowing it to be ridden without a license or insurance allows then it becomes a motorcycle requiring a license and insurance so the speed mods negate the benefits of being under the legal requirements and make it unlawful which will bite you in the event that you get into an accident and you are caught as an unlicensed rider without insurance riding a bike modified out of its original classification. Any other insurances you have often will not cover you while doing something illegal such as driving without a license. I understand that many do not comprehend or care about the ethics of all this however it is not ethical or legal to pass off a modified 50cc bike capable of speeds over the limits imposed for an unlicensed motorbike as a unregulated 50cc bike that does not require licensing or insurance. It does not matter if the registry in your area does not make it easy to register and insure the modified bikes or how may others do it and get away with it as they are no longer street legal without insurance and licensing once they are modified to exceed the speed rating for uninsured/unregistered bikes. Unfortunately a lot of people riding "Liquor-cycles" have already lost their license and really don't care, thus giving everyone on a scoot a bad rep.  |

I never got this either, over and over people buy a BBK only to get help here when it malfunctions. A 150-250cc scoot with a good pdi and upgraded parts will have the speed you need without ending up on the garage floor in pieces.  |

Among Chinese scoot dealers many (not on this board) do not have an exactly sterling reputation, but this is where I got mine. www.superiorpowersports.com/  |
