I would go 600 miles to pick one up. Chappys are good little bikes often used as the family car outside of the USA.

I wonder if the extra 22cc makes much of a difference
from the LB50 to LB80.

I had been hoping the LB80 top end would work on my LB50.
It would have been a cheap easy upgrade. Everyone I have spoken with says no, or maybe machining would be required.
An afterarket bigbore kit sounds like an easy less expensive bet.
I hope I am right on this that some people put 60cc yamaha trizinger and quad top ends on LB50’s.

My LB50 has almost 5000 miles on it. No history but has good compression so top end will stay on it for awhile, before really trying to see why the LB80 top end work.
