they have a big bore kit for the spree along with gears but the easiest way would be to swap in a dio or af05

Search this board for the user tazland001

He sells bigger bore cylinder kits for the Spree. You'll also find discussions in those threads about the kind of results you can expect.

The spree is somewhat limited by its lack of a variator, meaning you can't play with the tuning by swapping roller weights, etc.

If you want to do wheelies and burnouts then the answer is no, unless you swap the motor like mentioned above

Here is what you do...

First, figure out a way to interest her in scooters
Second, find a scooter you want that has bigger mod potential
Third, say something mushy like, I wish we could ride scooters together...
Fourth, give her the spree
Fifth, buy a scooter with a dio in it!

I might be able to burn rubber if I put it on the head pipe. It might burn on there after a 10 mile ride.

Because then you'd have to ride a CB200. :wink: Besides, where's the glory in going 75MPH on a bike that ran 75 right outta the box?
The fun's in the modding. Making a 4-horse engine produce 12 ponies, or taking a 35-MPH machine and getting it to go 70. Let's see someone go 150 on that 200? :)

the looks you get from people in there cars is great when you pull out and pass them on a spree and when you pass those dam chinese scooters plus where i live you dont need papers or a title or anything just fill out the form with name of bike chassis number pay $70 you get new plates and a years rego no pre checks to see if the bikes road legal over 50cc and it becomes a hassel with rego costing over $250 and checks every 6 months
