    Right, what can I do with this motor?

    I have an rd350a motor running in a matching numbers frame, however none of the cycle parts are up to the job,(even with the input of $1000s it will still be crap, really) so I am considering a hybrid using the RD motor (which goes like stink).... whos got some (realistic) ideas? i'm thinking blown up 250 sprots bike.......gotta be cheap (free?), I am bursting to chuck this motor in something, hurry up or it'll be a gokart

    I have a real nice cbr 250 RR (mc22) frame for sale $350.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    oil it up, seal it up, stick it in a box and wait 10 years to sell it. The RD's in the UK have a real following, but the amount of engines is finite. Good chance it will be worth a few quid down the track.

    I had a mate with RD350LC engine and frame, matching numbers ...0000006.

    He had the frame rusting away in the long grass behind his shed.

    Probably long ago chucked out.
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    this is an aircooled motor, I'll probably keep the frame, just because it matches the motor, but theres no point hanging decent suspension and stuff on a mediocre frame.......

    the motor is probably worth something now, but I don't want to sell it until I have at least used it to have a play on...
