    I have but I should really hang onto it for when I turn the existing one into a molten lump of aluminium with a couple of tanks of methanol. I've got a good MVX motor but you can't have that either sorry.

    good point, he'd probly want to take baby steps from shitty bike to awesome bike, YZ's and KX's fill that middle ground nicely

    Nah, I've seen far scarier than that little idea. I've seen GPZ1100 beach racers, there's a dude in Auckland with a Haldanes backed 999 beach racer and quite frankly, it's one of the few Ducatis that gives me a hardon

    think If I could get my hands on a YZ motor I can make it work. I probably should fix the brakes really......
