I realize its a very LARGE CC but the pics do not look that much bigger. do you think this would fit in my spree with some modifications? I really dont want to distroy the plastic but I guess a whole here or a whole there might not be so bad. let me know what ya think.

well i have an atc110 and a suzuki 100 and the engines are a lot bigger than the spree. but they have trannys. a lot of mods would make it fit and it would be reallllllllyyyyy! fast so u would have to rake the front end. you would also have to find a place to mount the radiator.

I don't see a radiator; you'd have to obtain one and figure out mounting.

This would be a cool swap, but very involved. The chassis really isn't set up for this motor; between frame flex and the undamped front fork a 250cc would make the Spree plain scary.

I think this is a 13" wheel, so you should change the front to match, as well as the fork, to get a damped front. You need to modify the engine mounts, create a 2nd shock mount, mount the radiator, swap forks for a 13" front (plus a damped shock.) Maybe rerake the front after the fork swap. Sidepanels would need to be modified/sawed. Some rewiring. If you have a welder and decent mechanical knowledge, it could be done.
