    Thing is you are changing the machine from a scooter to a motorcycle. Different categories as far as DVLA are concerned. And different license requirements.
    DVLA aren't concerned about like for like engine changes, but changing for a bigger engine will need paperwork and probably inspection.

    i put an air cooled engine in my gilera runner vx125, as the mains went on the LC motor and the AC motor was dirt cheap, never had any problems with it
