We have this talk all the time in the 49cc world.. I've come from a ruckus and as much fun as it was, the down side was its speed and the amount of time it took to get to speed. A few guys run with bigger 150cc motors and don't report it. Fortunately there's no way for the cops to tell its bigger unless they do a test.
This leads to the reason why I didn't choose to do the upgrade. If you were to get into an accident and ICBC finds out your cc's aren't registered(trust me they will do anything to not have to pay you out). Then your SOL, all medical and any other costs.
I'm not familiar with doing BBK's especially in the larger cc area, but in the scooter world once you go BBK you always run into reliability issues. Which was another reason why I didn't go with a bbk on the ruckus. Stock motor is the most reliable motor.
