Smile Engines For Cr500

I have found out about my Mini Bike just recently and want to know what would be a best suited engine for just cruising around the neihbour hood.

I kind of want to put my 125cc motor in it but wouldnt be too powerful?

Cruising flat ground? If so I would find a 3-5hp flatty and put on it.

Theres some Damn near new Flatty b&s's on ebay for cheap.

You can usually find some nice engines on snowblowers and pressure washers with bad pumps. A lot of pressure washers had Briggs Intek engines,if you'd like to use a OHV engine.
