Ouch! Did you see the prices for these things? I could get a new r1 or gsxr1000 for about the same as a motor and the running gear.

This is in £ too.

Base Engine (GP500 or GP600) 4995
6-speed sequential (cassette-style) transmission & dry clutch 1660
Engine management system, harness, sensors & generator kit 875
Engine management system – as above but ignition only 675
Butterfly throttles, fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator & fuel injectors, or 445
Barrel throttle, fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator & fuel injectors, or 1875
Carburettors – flat slide 525
Front exit dry sump 250
Kick start 225
Electric starter 475
Magnesium crankcases 1200
Magnesium cover set 900 (includes sump, cam cover, gearcase cover, bearing housing)
Titanium connecting rods (set of 2) POA
Titanium valves (set of 8) 575
Titanium retainers (set of 8) 175
Billet aluminium clutch cover 95
Carbon clutch cover 145
Slipper clutch POA
Heavy duty output shaft (cassette plate & big bearing kit) 175
GP500 to GP600 conversion kit
(billet crankshaft, cast clutch cover, spacer plate & calibration) 995

So for the most basic build you're looking at £8200 and it's kick start!
fzr660/400: fzr400 3en1 frame, 3en2 swinger, custom single seat subframe, fzr660 motor conversion, APE adjustable cam gears, full D&D 4-2-1 exhaust, falicon clutch basket, ignitech ignition, R6 front end with tz250 wheel, ohlins shock, storz steering damper, tzr250 rear wheel.

weighs 166kg wet (25kg lighter than my stock fzr600).
