    CBR250RR engine for transplant

    can any of you explain to me why someone would want to offer an engine such as this http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...09&permanent=0 but only if they get one in exchange?? $1100 seems very steep when you have to also give up your own engine (that could be used for parts)

    I always see their adverts in trademe.
    I always think AWWW YE- Fuck.
    Some are just downright rude, tbh...
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    It does say they are engine re conditioners. They do need more broken engines to fix to keep doing business.

    A CBR250RR can easily get $5k when being sold. So if you picked up one with a stuffed engine, replace it with this you could still end up with some tidy coin in your pocket.

    Hes a good dude but i don't agree with the engine swap policy. $1100 is expensive for a new engine and even more so when you lose your old one. I would make sure it comes with some sort of mechanical warranty (if thats even possible?).

    Go price up the internals of an MC22 engine and get back to us.
