    Nah got sold a long time ago this bike has been through alot to be honest ive been giving it treatment ever since it got stolen. use to be a 125 then it got blown up by who ever stole it got it back pretty much battered but everything was still there even the doppler obviously clueless jackers.
    fitted my 172 engine and it ended up lookin like it looked in black n baby blue just to give it a nice juice for 10 mins see how everything ran it was all good so i carried on changing the bike should be up and finished within the next couple of days or by next week.

    p.s Please someone tell me if jackups are strong enough for 172 engines couple of people told me the make the engine a high risk of cracking.

    cause whats mine is yo's n what yo;s is mine


    and i figured the ssp jackup would make the vx's handle lightly better than usual including a bigger back shock.

    thanks

    i put runner forks on because i dont like 50 forks and a 172 engine, it feels too bumpy doing 75 with little forks gonna miss dipping round corners like valentino no doubt :<
