How much is a leager frame????? I'm thirteen and want to race MX. I was thinking of putting a cr80 motor in a leagar quad like all the other people did to their kids machines. any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I am not sure about the frame but i wouldn't put a cr80 motor in a quad. I would go for the 125 if no the 250. I have a 125 honda quad and it would be embarrasing to race it. It tops out at like 25-30.

well, so much for that idea. But I cant race with anything but a 90 cc quad. any ideas??

 

Reconrider. Check out the May 1998 issue of DirtWheels. Page 108. There is an article about Zac Willet's Honda with a modified CR80 engine. He used a Laeger frame. Looks like it might be exactly what you are wanting to do.

 

Thanks but I found an old issue of 4 wheel atv action that talks about Matt Bartosek's cr-80. But I dont think I'm gonna do it anyway.There's not very many riders in the mini class and I wouldnt be able to keep up with that girl on the kx-80. yeah I admit it. I would get whooped by that chick on the kx. So I'm just gonna get the ole Recon out on the track in the utility class where I know I can get atleast second but that Arctic Cat 454 looks pretty fast tho.

 

A Recon against a 454? Good Luck...

I dont thinks I'm gonna race anyway. I just jammed my thumb and can't ride. I hope it heals by Saturday. Thanks tho.

 

Zac Willets bike has a Laeger Mini Frame. Its desighned to accept the CR80 motor. If you wanted to race some flat track or TT you might could get away with a TRX125/CR80 conversion, due to the lack of suspension on the 125 it wouldnt work good for MX.

 

Just for reference here a CR80 is a 2 stroke motor that cranks out some serious HP for it's size. The little TRX125 is a four stroke slug, comparing the two is like comparing a 250R to a TRX300, just because it's larger displacement doesnt mean it's faster. A CR80 powered quad will eat up clutches but that little motor is suprisingly potent. It will surely be alot faster than any other OEM 80 or 90cc quad.

 

Back to the original question. Based on what it cost me to build my 250 race bikes, I would estimate between $7000-$8000 to build a Leager 80.
