There are import regulations on engines just like there are regulations on vehicles. If I wanted to import just an engine I would have to tell the seller to take it apart and ship it like that. Besides, I would want the whole bike, not just the engine. The CBR 250 is likely designed beefier than the 125, meaning more weight. Which means an even slower bike if the 125 was swapped into it.
