U dnt need engine numbers and if u start stamping 1s in and u get pulled over and they check m8 they will more than likely take the bike off u to get it checked were as if its got none on they don't seem to bother u about it

No insurance company are gonna insure you for a dt with a wr engine in it with no numbers if you declare it

Nor will dvla allow the change of your engine info on the v5 if you declare it

Think about it mate, that SETUP, only way you would possibly get it back on the road is to not declare it, but obviously your get done hard if, if you was to get caught...

If I had the genuine engine number then I could ride it legally. Insurance would possibly be slightly more as its been 'modified' but its still learner legal as its 125cc and well within the bhp limit. Tax on the wr is the same as the DT, £16.

I'm really not a fan of single cylinder 4 strokes. Sounds like you're having a wet fart!

Single cylinder two stroke on the other hand....

Depends on the size of the bike Cal, high comp 4 strokes like the 640 KTM sound amazing, agreed 125 4 strokes sound ****e tho, DRZ sounds alright with an MRD aswell

I think i'll be out numbered again here nath mate. Even 250 mxers sound gash in my opinion. Just sound so jubby.

Inline 4 is my favourite. V twins sound gash. V8's are aweful. Just horrible noise. Not like a sexy tuned inline 4 or v6. Or formula one cars. But american muscles sound gash.

Love inline 4 hitting v tec or turbo twitter. Just something about it.

Bet that was nice.

Tell ya something actually. Best V4 i've ever heard (not in real life) is the RD500 V4 ring ting.

Nah must be me. Even shļt saxo's with a dirty pipe sound nice. Although embarrassing to be in or to own a jap can saxo 1.0. Still think it sounds nice lmao.

Part of me wishes Id stuck a yz125 engine in it... I suppose I still could but cba now. Ive got my clio Trophy up for sale as we need a more child friendly car?! when the clios sold I can pay off some bills and buy some bits, like an arrow end can and all new plastics... Oh and a new car obviously.

Did a bit of work on the old beaut today.

I could have made the engine fit without having to chop the front part of the frame out but that would have ment the 'yamaha' logo on the engine wouldnt have been horizontal... And that would piss me off. So out came the grinder. The engine is sat pretty much where it needs to be but I will be moving it an inch further back after a bit more cutting. Because its now sat lower in the frame it also ment that I wont need to **** around cutting the tank to miss the water pump housing. Win.

Ah fair enough. If you can get all the work done for less than a wr it will be worth it. The minute you spend more than that then... Sure it'll be interesting but.

To be fair i always wanted a dtx. But couldn't afford one. Now i've apent far more than a top of the range dtx. But i've never had that money all in one go. Neither could i get that money in one go. So i'vw had to buy it in drips amd drabs.

Look forward to more work though!

 

And your view count is off the head!

You are nutz haha!

You've chopped the frame up lol. Okay!

I don't understand. Why not get the wr? The money you have spent i'm sure you could have picked one up. They look sweet too!

But nah seriously impressive work though. I want you to move on with this project so much. But bills are bills and have to take priority.

Your like me then. I cant really afford it all in one go. I think another few hundred quid and it'll be ready. No idea what it would be worth finished.
Yeah I cant believe the views, thanks everyone. My project is only on this site too.

Looking forward to seeing this bike on the road, bare in mind a brand new WR is like £3.5k or something that was built by a robot in factory, rather than a hand sculpted one of a kind machine made in Nathan's shed lol.

It's good to see projects like this, it's amazing how different the bikes are on here and this one takes the biscuit lol! Really is an impressive bit of work.
