And I couldn't be happier! :woohoo: I got it for a really good price, it has dropped it's cam chain, so there will be massive top end carnage, but it's gearbox parts I'm interested in amongst a few other bits and pieces. My current motor suddenly decided what gear it wanted to be in for the 1st three ratios last April, and since then I've not had a bike to ride :cry:

My big plan was to make a race motor and cobble together a road one, then register the bike from jan to march, them swap motors and turn it into a race bike for the other months. But I've since spied a possible bargain ZXR750 locally thats been crashed and turned into a street fighter and then crashed again, so is looking pretty grim cosmetics wise. It has (a hopefully genuine) 32 km on the clock, if it pans out, I'll grab that and build two bikes, a road and race job. so finally, I should be able to put in the world superbike engine kit and get back to the track, maybe in the later actrix rounds :woohoo:

I'm stoked, and just wanted to share, as you were :sunny:

Cheers John, it will be good to get out there again. A funny thing happened when I went to pick the motor up, he also had a whole ZXR750H1 in his garage, minus battery and needing a joining link on the chain, so I made him a offer and he accepted, so now I can move ahead with my separate racebike/road bike projects!!!
Go to pick up a motor and grab a whole bike :facepalm:
