    which is the best route to go with a 125LX?

    is it possible to make it a 172 if I use a skipper 2t engine?

    or just keep 4t and go 200cc?

    cheers

    I'm not sure a 210 will work in an LX- maybe the GT.

    Is it the 4t air cooled 2 valve job? If it's the leader engine then you could fit the 190cc barrel.

    My last Vespa LX 125ie "2011 injection model" had a Malossi 190 bore on it with a malossi vairator and
    running yellow clutch springs and it was insane, it was the only LX i had ever seen in my life
    that would power wheelie.

    The 190 kit was well worth the money, i had it fitted then setup on a dyno and it made around 15bhp
    but it felt very fast for a little old 4stroke and drove very much like a 2stroke in a way with loads of
    torque.

    But overall yes i'd 100% say opt for the 190 barrel as it's well worth the money once setup and
    fitted right....I kept the standard gearing so it only went to around 75mph but it would get there
    very fast and it was a joy to ride, wish i never sold it now.
