How To Turn A Moped Into A Motorcycle - Video Posted: 30 Jul 2012 09:00 AM PDT It's incredible what some people can do if they put their minds and hands to it..... Somewhere in Turkey, some enterprising lads took a moped, you know - one of those 50cc-2-stroke-pedal-to-go-faster-louder-than-real-bikes vehicles, and turned it into a motorcycle! What they did was bolt on three other 50cc engines, making it a 200cc motorcycle. The job is impressive to say the least.

Typically, it'll cost some $75,000 to participate, counting your bike, transport, etc. Some people have even mortgaged their house so that they can participate.
