Those are great little trikes. A friend of mine had one brand new when we were growing up. Plenty of power and a lot of fun in the snow.
 
I bought my grandkids a little Honda 70 and bought a licon 125 4 speed engine for it. That bike runs great. The licon is a Japanese not Chinese motor and is like $200 complete. Wont last as long as a Honda but has a lot more power than the 70 that was on it.

i had a lifan 90cc quad and i could not kill the engine....even with me and son on it,used to pull a heavy trailer with it to....which eventually broke the frame....then welded it back toghther lol:)
 
That's what it is, lifan not licon. The Honda cover will work with it too but its too new and pretty to put old covers on. The 70 was a 3 speed semi auto. I bought the clutch lever and cable for the new 125 and its a 4 speed with a clutch and they love it.
 
there is a 85trx125 for $150 down the road from me....harley your my inspiration on getting it lol :)
all though it wont stay running the guy says
