    y get a 180? i thought 125 with 172 and 180 gears would be faster than a 180 with 172?

    180's have a few extras that 125's dont (atleast on my 4 banger anyway).. For example, I can ride without lights on, or just side lights. I think there may be a few other parts that are slightly better/stronger than 125 bits. Not too sure though.

    a 180 has the same crank as the 125. same clutch with a fan on it (looses power, its drag) shitty case from the overmachining for the big cylinder and a 180 cylinder... the variator, cylinder and ONE of the gears in the box are the only diff things in a 180.. so no, 125's are much better engines..

    as for having no light switch, its fuck all to do wiht engine size, its vehicle year, after a certian year you cant turn your lights off.

    so no, 180's suck. buy a 125, fit a 172 kit, fit a decent gear up, pissin on 180's

    Old thread.

    Got to agree its much less hassle. Had to go through a whole saga for a mate to get a 180 legal on L's and its NOT worth the bother, 172 would have cut straight to the point and given better results sooner.

    If you fit the kit yourself from new and treat it right youll have a bit of peace of mind.

    Lets face it, 180 is factory and I would personally trust it more over a "big bore kit" if buying the bike USED, but buying a brand new kit is a slightly different matter.

    ye, simple reason being old men did buy 180 runners, where as anything wiht a 172 you KNOW has been ragged/wheelied and abused from day one.
