For Sale, 1985 GSXR750 rebuilt from ground up.

Best is to first open up the cases, and put the six speed box from the 750 in the 1100.

Yup, this was a very common transplant.

i had one of these and sold it a couple -3 years back , (bought a leather lounge sweet with the money)well 1/2 one from the money.
nice job i may say, but would have to agree with others, you've killed the value , by changing it, if it was done in the OME blue blue and white like mine,

you maybe closer to the money,
mine was very tidy and un fucked with (outside the 1100 wheels) and I had many people tell me they thought it was worth good money and would buy it , but F all fronted up with any cash, and i ended up selling it for 3 1/2 k , so good luck , your selling your bike against 1ltr bikes 2001 to 07 mark and some very worthy opponents.

You list it here at $8000 and have the audacity to put 'no dreamers' in your trademe auction? Have you seen how much tidy original ones go for? It's quite pretty, but surely you've still raped all the value out of it.

Go fuck yourself arsehole. Shows how much you know and how little attention you paid. What a fuckin cock!

[st00ji]

$1 auction imo, resolve the debate once and for all!

[Laava]

I don't think I have changed it that much from original, what I have done though is remove or repair the damaged bits and repair the frame where some retard had drilled holes in it and ground bits out. To a purist you would never be able to touch the frame as it had a quite unique anodised finish that you could not refurbish if you tried. I still have all the original bits to put it back to stock but fucked if I would piss about with the OTT stickers it had from new.

Best combo is 7/11. In the old days one would put the 1100 motor in the 750 lightweight frame. Then you would really be flying

Me mate had one (7/11) and made it into a street fighter with NOS kit

Robbie Phillis put a GSXR750 engine into a GSXR400 instead

I have heard of someone who was in the process of squeazing the 1100 lump into GSX-RR 250 frame. Don't know how that ended tho.

Well when the swing arm mount folds, and the frame turns itself inside out, it'll be interesting to watch him take it back out using a gas axe at least.

I figured it that much. There is no way physically that 250 frame would be strong enough to withstand the torque and associated forces of the 1100 motor. Yet, I have seen with my own eyes the 1100 sitting next to the 250 frame and getting measured up. I was thinking at the time, how the fuck is that going to fit in there.

The motor won't fit between the frame rails anyway, or between the headstock and swingarm mount, so it's a non issue really. Good job, because it would kill someone if it folded at the wrong moment.

Oh, with that character anything would not surprise me. Knowing him, he probably cut the frame up to fit the motor then rewelded it back up. After all he put ZZR1100 motor into a Vespa and rode it to the Brass Monkey Rally. Mind you we are talking mid 90s here, so back then the law did not apply as hard as it does now.

I'll put a set of 17 inch wheels on it for you, and you let me thrash the ring out of it for a season? You'll need to supply your own beer when you come to watch though, but that's a good thing, cos I drink Heineken also.

Might be a little more needed than just wheels Drew ! And this tourist who was staying with us for a few weeks wasn't too worried about the 12 yr old 18's lol

Bit of a drawn out vid, it was made more for him to show back home , but ya'll get the gist ! there's some motor work to be done for sure !

[imdying]

You can have a cry all you want, but old shitters like that only have value when they're original, and you've fucked it. $8000 is a joke. Go look for yourself. Nobody wants a molested old shitter like that for $8k when that would get them an R1 or GSXR1000. That's not to say the bike doesn't look lovely, with some nice work, but $8000... you are dreaming.

[avgas]

Can have mine for half that , if you throw in a box of heinies !!!!

Does it run mista? Is it all there?

See post 27, yes but smokin, slippy clutch and perhaps a few other things lol

Was talking tongue in cheek TBH, originally purchased it to race, but put it on the shelf when i found i was gonna be up for a bit of engine work !
