My friend (raph92 on this forum) and me have thrown together this bike.
This engine can be purchased at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/YXM-Zone
Bought for £50, (about 100$)
First impressions:
Box had holes in it,
Motor was intact and all parts were present.
The clutch lever was just a converted bike gear shifter with a brake handle built in, which is completely inappropriate. I replaced with a locking clutch lever from transformer cycles.
The fuel tank clamps were far to small for our top bar. A number of bolts were complete junk.
Other than that the parts were perfect.
The engine runs, and has not had any major problems. I'm running on 16-1 synthetic mix. Maximum speed for the first 50 miles is 15, and I will speed up after that. A bit of oil seeps out of the exhaust gasket.
We ditched the chain tensioner, more trouble than it was worth. Used the rear dropout to tension the chain, bought a sprung loaded tensioner for the pedal side.
Conclusion: excellent value for money, decent performance for bargain bucket prices.
