Question Zongshen 125cc or YX140cc?

Personally I want the Zongshen as its a good strong engine with plenty to do if I want. But the 140cc with z40 cam is very very tempting. What do you guys think?

I've not heard much about the zonger in terms of reliability - especially when tuned.

Worth finding out first, cos a bigger engine is more likely to make the same power reliably than a smaller higher tuned engine. And the yx140 is a good solid choice.

Ive got 28mm bore exhaust and new Mikuni vm22. Would like the 140 but it seems every one is always having problems on here. If I did get it the only tune would be the z40 cam. As for the zonga ive heard quite alot of good and they have their own racing team. I wouldnt do any tuning to it though I reckon.

I heard some thing along the same line. Sounds like the best choice. Good strong engine.
