@buddhastaxi Thanks! It was actually a small engine simply because to do your test here costs in the region of 2k for anything over a 125, test for 125 costs around £120.......at the time I was skint and needed something to keep me interested as I could no longer race downhill mountain bikes due to an injury and was nostalgic about my teen years riding motocross......this bike actually changed my life even if it did fall to bits......Hopefully getting something much bigger very soon!
Hi someday, I explored this option, I even took it to the local dealer to see what they suggested. I was told the max you could fit in would be a 500 lump, ud need to make new engine mounts etc. I was going to do it but life got in the way and I rode the bike a little hard which caused the nice components such as forward controls to snap. Im just not sure id trust that frame with a bigger lump. I just wish id kept my money and done my DAS.
Hi there, I spoke to you a few months back re. the AJS EOS 125 bike. One of the things I've been wondering about since then is the possibility of using this type of bike but with a different more reliable engine. I know you can get 250 or 300cc upgrades to the original AJS 125 engine, but I was thinking Japanese engines, say a Honda 250 engine. Any thoughts about the usability of the frame & other parts?
@somedaysoon2 In all honesty, if I could go back and do things differently with regards to this bike I would. I dont know where your based but if it's the uk here's some food for thought......the bike new cost me £2400 on the road, then it was £100 for my cbt etc etc. 10 months later I was left with a bike that was pretty much in pieces, illegal to ride and sold it for £600. To do your full test costs £600, that would leave you roughly £1800 to buy a decent bike with a big engine!

Great video - and even a good looking bike, though reading all the comments about them has just put me off getting one myself.
