Is it possibly to put a suzuki sv1000 2003 frame and a suzuki gsx 250 2004 engine together?

Anything is possible!
An old favourite was the GSXR 7/11. An 1100cc motor in a 750 frame.

You can do anything. How much money do you want to spend?

Yes.
But it would be much more entertaining to see it done the other way around

sv1000 with gsx250 engine 3k and you provide all parts and both bikes plus freight them both.:woohoo:
It wont be lams legal though seeing as it will be registered as a sv1000.
Gl400 would be better with a gl400 engine in it perhaps.

Once you've successfully gone through the LVVT compliance procedure and paid all the $$$ that go with it. Me, I'd rather poke my left eye out with a dead dogs penis.

1. Buy the purpose built race bike that would cost you 7k to build and race it
2. Buy the race chasis that has no motor and put your gutless engine in it race it or spend even more money converting it to a road bike gsx250 engine that isn't lams approved yet still underpowered and really worthless to anyone.
3 Why
4 Sell gsx for 850 and start again.
5 Stop trying to use that bloody engine in another bike.
6 Stop considering wasting money trying to rebuild it.
7 Stop starting threads that are related to the bike you should have sold. PLEASE!!!

No. Idd be asking for at least 1300 for it.

Unless you want to sell it in parts yourself it is probably the best you'll get. Have you listed the bike on trade me for a bit more just to see if there is any interest?

11th January 2015, 15:03
why would you sell it for 1300?
If I owned it idd sell it for 2grand also or more.
Idd sell it for $400 also.
As long as someone was trying to give me money idd sell it.
Even giving it away would lose less money than trying to repair it or modify it.

You could get a vincent rapide and put a vt250 motor in it as well. That would be a good conversation piece!

I saw a guy replace an engine on a Kawi 250 sports bike years ago. It was some bike engine he found cheap where a couple of the mounts lined up. He used an angle grinder on the frame to create the clearances he needed. He got his bike back on the road but I wouldn't call it safe bike. Always amazes me how resourceful some people are.

For a 10 year old unwarrantable 250.... A good working one would be lucky to see $2,500.... Almost half price and it's fucked. It's an average engine, in an average frame to start with. It's not rare, it's not fast, it's not special, it's a cheap commuter for learners.
Put it on trademe, $1 reserve, you'd be lucky to get $850.

Whats wrong with the 250? Sounds far easier to fix that.
