Any big bores for Typhoon 125???

[CrankingWithCG]

I was very lightly entertaining the idea of buying a 2011 Typhoon 125, as theyre so damn cool and i feel they dont get the appreciation they deserve. I read up on this version of the Leader motor, and found its much easier to take apart than say, a Zuma 125. Good, big bore time!

.....except i can literally find no info on them. No threads on big bores, hardly any for sale. I found a 187 on racing planet, they say its for the Typhoon, its a air cooled kit, all seems well. But no info on heads? Porting? Will you have to cut the cases to fit this supposed 190cc?? Will the stock head work?? I just need help here if anyones built one of these bikes. Would a air cooled Vespa 125 cylinder of the same year work and i should be looking there instead? Also for exhausts? I love them, and I would love to snag one up and do some epic build series stuff, but im not gonna buy a 10k mile bike (nothing on reliability either) and be high and dry with no way to increase speed

It doesn't look like much is available for this model. This would be awesome, but at a serious price. www.pmtuning.co.uk/m3116208

That would be an awesome kit with the 4 valve head but it would also be pricey. Maybe when I hit the lottery I'll turn my ET4 into a scary screamer.

Here is a 180cc kit that's a little more affordable: scooterpartsco.com/vespa/lx-150/lx-150-engine/malossi-190cc-cylinder-kit-for-vespa-et4-lx150-carburetor?zenid=b52790a574c9f5df9198655dde268dd6. They have a Leader engine that's been around for ever, lots of go fast parts. Here is a link to Malossi's catalog for them: www.malossistore.co.uk/en/piaggio-typhoon-125-4t-euro-3-leader-m701m-pity125-M. They are easy to work on and have legit service manuals.

I used to have one of these on my wife's scooter. It's not EU approved, but did make a difference. Not many four stroke exhausts will give you an extra 2hp. www.pmtuning.co.uk/pm-tuning-stainless-steel-performance-exhaust-vespa-et4-lx-125cc-190cc

Yes scooterpartsco has those for a bit more money scooterpartsco.com/vespa/lx-150/lx-150-exhaust/pm-tuning-pm56-exhaust-for-vespa-et4-lx150-and-s150. Not sure if you'll get much out of it. The 2 valve leader isn't a great build platform.

Man its tempting to snag one up now. Its clocked at 10k miles, and theres a Vespa GT200 nearby with 1200 miles for 100 bucks less, but man the typhoons are so damn cool

Yes, I have always liked the typhoon. It's probably easier to make a 50cc faster than a 125. So much stuff to tune them.

Sadly, the only 2 smoker close is a 200 dollar barn find that needs panels and god knows what else
