Are Piranha 190 engines worth it?

Ive been looking at the piranha 190 engine and I'm pretty interested in it for a future build. I have watched some videos on it and really like it, but the 1500 dollar price tag is a little discouraging. Considering the engine costs the same as the bike I wanna put it in I'm not sure if it would be worth it. Any thoughts or opinions on this?

You are looking in the wrong place. Search Ali Express for a Zongshen ZS 190. Same as Pirhana. You could get one shipped directly from China for around 500-600 shipped. Might be even cheaper now. Edit, just checked, $638.41 shipped.

Awesome! Either way it comes as is. I read through the description on Faster Minies and it doesn't matter how it comes, you get what you get. I would much rather wait 2 months to get one from china then spend twice as much for faster shipping.

Thanks again! I look forward to ordering one sometime in the future.

I'd assume it's not a bad idea to add an oil cooler?

if you were going to spring spending $1500 you may want to look into the 212 still less money then compare the 4 valve vs the 2 valve.
