MySpree's is a good motor if your looking to go all out. if your looking to just keep it stock it might not be what you want. but his is way faster then any other motor your going to find. if you built it right.

with the right amount of money, time and know-how you can turn a spree into a "dio" and have it doing highway speeds ;) The trick is, you need all 3 to do it right.

I would suggest doing the basic mods to your spree: port manifold, shave pulley, add clutch springs, and if anything that will make your 0-30mph better. Then sit back and enjoy winding it out as your break the 35mph barrier! :P
projects galore :nerd:

its a 94-01 elite SA50 motor.
94-01 elite motors were highly modable and could hit 75mph (or higher with slower take off) with 72cc bore kit and a few other mods. The Max you can do to them is a 107cc water cooled bore. combined with a stroker crank and other things your looking at insane speeds.

I though they could go up to 125cc with water cooled head?
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

107cc is the biggest kit i seen. the might go higher. or it could be 107cc turns into 125cc with a stroker crank. or something like that.

127cc liquid cooled with brakes that will handle speeds of up to 35mph, sounds like fun and danger.

you can do a air cooled 125cc
52.6 crank , 54 bore. I have build a few of them here. very fast but not a along day of cruising. You need to ride these more by watching your temp gauge than enjoying the views LOL
