i have seen and rode a V3 and V5... one of my friends opened up a shop here in Western Mass... seels mostly 50-250cc scooters and 250cc bikes.... now the V3 & V5 for being automatics are not that all that bad for what they are.. and being a an area with 5 colleges in a 15miles radius... he has not had any real complaints about them from his customers... his only complaints are: the crating of the bikes and scooters leaves a lot to be desired and 7 out of 10 need to have the carbs removed and cleaned before they will even run right... needless to say 10-20 min for carb work is all it takes him now on each bike.

but like i said it is a 5 college area and the V3 & V5 keep them happy if they dont get a scooter... esp with the built in radio with mp3 hookup and being automatics (all girls college under a mile away.. they are book smart but dont get the concept or dont care to learn about shifting)

Any idea how much he charges for them? I like the look of those but that "extreme scooters" place has no prices.

WTF, I got a link to a Honda industrial engine add. B&S Vanguards are more better (since they have a Tillotson carb, with adj. main jet).

Stupid question, is it possible to put a CR125 engine into in a CL100 frame?

... with an acetylene rig and enough JB Weld.

It had THAT much? Hell, it felt like no more than 8 or 9 riding mine.

Speaking of which, I have this old CL100 frame (it may be a CB - Mem'ry. Same-same.) at my Dad's, and most of a spare engine. Free to good home - you pick up (Southwest MO).

I actually have an old CB frame with an old CB engine, the engine runs and idles but the bike needs a throttle, clutch, clutch cable, horn, fenders, tires and grips and on top of that the key is snapped in the ignition from a sharp meeting with a tree.
