Now we're talking! Now it's a three way race for the next tiddler addition to my garage! Red, baby blue, or white!

I'll bet its heavy, sorry. Athena cyl is good, see no reason why a factory 144 is not possible then. If my buddy buys my '07 250 I'm leaning toward a Husky 144/150 if I can find a nice late model used one.

Also, that pipe is really different from the one on my 2011..

I don't think that you can have a bolt on 144cc.
I have now a lot of experience with my custom build 144cc and I can tell you that the stock engine is not strong enough to withstand the higher power output.
As example, I had to change the crank bearing to bigger ones, put a reinforced rod in and so on and so on.

Is it me or does the motor seem to be very high in the frame? It seems that it cannot be pivoted down very far due to the front motor mount. Perhaps it is the exact same cradle with different mounts.

It is. If you look at this bike and a new 250/300 side by side you can see that the 125 engine is sitting a good inch or more higher in the frame.

Think I'd pass on this GG, too many compromises. Of course this is based on a pic and we havn't ridden any yet, but it can't be as optimized as the other 125s.

The pic of this bike also shows it with that crappy old kick starter.
