canuckamuck Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 A few weeks back someone mentioned there's a new Honda 250cc engine that will fit a CBR150. I wanted to research this a bit but I can't find it in the threads. Does anyone remember or have any info on this subject?

canuckamuck Posted September 22, 2007 Author Posted September 22, 2007 That was the post that got me thinking upgrade, but there was another post a couple of months later that mentioned a new Honda 250 motor that was a straight across replacement for the 150 on a CBR. But I am thinking now that the guy was talking about the Aussie 250cc bike (is it also a CBR?), and that is likely what was meant. Here is a new angle on the question: Are the Aussie bikes basically the same bike as the the Thai CBR150 except with 250cc's, and if so, could I just order and Aussie motor and install it on my 150. Has anybody imported a motor to Thailand, is it difficult? Crow Boy, it would be grteat if you could remember where that shop was that did the 250 conversion.

Wouldn't it be easier to sell the 150 and buy a 400?
canuckamuck Posted September 25, 2007 Author Posted September 25, 2007 Yes but not very original. I have had it stock for four years now I have the urge to modify. No logic required.
SM7WGP Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Yes but not very original. I have had it stock for four years now I have the urge to modify.No logic required. There is a Bore up kit availble to make it to 170cc , I dont no how much Bhp it will give Price 31k Bath Thats include Cylinder, a new crankshaft , Racing piston and a new head with stronger springs a camshaft chain two new racing camshafts . The cylinder head is a bit modified to fit the new racing camshafts and new valves 26 and 30 mm. This is availble by asienmoto or Faddybike in BKK
madjbs Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 20cc extra for 31,000 baht is rather steep. You could just buy a 250 or a 400.

Of course its a lot of money for only 20cc more but If you like to work with your bike and have fun then its not much. Only think how many guys pay 2000 bath a month for UBC truevision that a lot of money for nothing old movies and crap. I did the low budget cure and put a DBS Racing muffler but did take of the sound about 50% because it was loud in my ears, Fitted a new Racing carburator, removed the rubberintake just under rhe sadle to the air intake and left the aircleaner inside and only this made a lot of diffrens standing beside a NSR by the Redlight. But that was a total of aprox 8K bath
