    think its similar to a speedfight/morini engine, so mounting positions would suite a minarelli vertical (if its not actually one in there already) pretty dire tbh. anything will fit if you have a welder... probably better off dumping it and buying something the engine fits into easier, any piaggio based 2t auto bike will do :) can pick scoots up for pennys if you dont mind them not running. alot less work/probably cheaper than the x8r... if you have your heart set tho there are speedfight conversion kits im sure could be easily adapted... you will need more than just the engine tho. loom on the 125 is alot heavier duty as the starter requires a big battery, and the bike has to charge this. if your not bothered about an electric start you can hook the stator output to any loom prettymuch, just need the correct rectifier and adapt the rest of the wiring to suit.

    and as im saying, add an hours welding labour to that and you have 100 quid... and i can get a zip for 100 quid any day of the week prettymuch, especially with a blown engine.. if your doing the work yourself its a cheap option, altho your asking v simple questions for somebody capable of welding engine mounts into a bike safely... so you will be paying someone/buying and adapting an existing conversion kit... so factor this in and decide if its worth all the messing about.. as you can do a piaggio conversion in an hour with a file and a hacksaw LOL
