Is it possible to convert from 80cc to 125cc?
First of all, I'm not that familiar with this topic, which is why I'm asking the question.
So, I'm 15 now and I'm planning on getting an A1 license, which allows me to ride motorcycles with a displacement of up to 125 cc and a maximum engine power of 11 kW or 15 hp. My father had a Honda MT8 at home, which a friend gave him over 15 years ago, but that's not important here. Since you can ride up to 125 cc with the A1 license, and the MT8 only has 80 cc, I want to upgrade it as much as possible and still get it road-legal. As I said, I'm not really familiar with this topic, so I wanted to ask if anyone else has any ideas…
Thanks in advance
This moped is more than twice as old as you.
I’m an old bag of over 50, I went to school with the street version of this thing (MB-8), and that was already too of Time completely outdated.
It is better from the technical substance for light years than any Simson (no piece of art), but the years do not pass without trace. Starting with the 6V-electric, which, by the way, is likely to be a permanent theater because the insulation of the cables and the like is brittle.
What you’re up to is the entry into the veteran sport, a “resto-mode”. And according to experience, this does not save money, but it costs Money. Significantly more than if you had hired a five-year-old Aprilia scooter or something. Because once you’ve built the 125 kit (you can google in three seconds, how good and just you get this one) then you’ll throw more good money after the bad one.
Sunk cost fallacy.
Don’t get used to that.
You can do anything like that, but for the right reasons, please.
Jo I don’t know if you don’t want to leave it in any case it’s not mt8 but a mbx 8 which has a 12v technique. I know it doesn’t make a big difference anyway, but I still wanted to ask if there are any methods to lift the 80cc to 125cc.
It makes a huge difference. The water-cooled MBX 80R (I hope this is what you mean) had a 30-time better pro-link suspension. I picked them up a year later after I drove the MB to Klump and almost killed me. From the substance a much better machine. Unfortunately, only insignificantly younger, of which, in principle, exactly the same applies. Googele is the 125 kit with the year of construction and the corresponding Honda factory name, which is somewhere in the papers and is NOT MBX, but what like RC or NC or PC or the like with a double-digit number that is NOT 80. You need an eligible kit with expert advice. Go to Honda or Mopedforen.
But it’s thrown out money and with the used Aprilia scooter you could already be on the go while the first interested parties for the MBX could have found themselves if you had already advertised it.
Okö thank you
Hello,
you could build another engine.
But that would not be worth the time and the money.
Then you’d rather buy a 125 with 15 hp (if you want the maximum performance) or drive with the MT8 and 80ccm if you want to save money.
