I know there is a good motor aftermarket for the pit-bike motors, but am not sure about the other. I could see this being a hoot with a properly-breathed on pitster mill under that bodywork.

yes this machine uses a honda clone motor similar to small CRF engines or those found in pitbikes. Same bolt up pattern so you can install whatever engine you prefer.. Lifan offers a 140cc engine that will bolt right up too.
from what i have heard it handles pretty good too. lots of upgrades can be found, or like you are planning a motor transplant is very easy.
when you are tired of the sportbike style check out this little meany
