I've got a fellow racer who's trying to get rid of some parts. He's got pretty much a complete 600cc gsx bike, minus the frame, he wants to sell.
Here's the info I have. It's got about 50k miles. It's salvage from dropping, but he rode it home to tear it down.
What's a price range I should look at? And other than a gokart or golf kart, what else can I put this sucker in? Just trying to see if it's worth it.

I've played with one with 120hp. You pull in first or second gear, but sixth gear is terrifying on the highway.
It helps to look like him. You can shift your weight to the wheel that's spinning. The really good guys have their "swing your ass" technique down pat.

Always wanted to see some tiny european microcar with one, like a Citroen 2CV.

hovercraft, or airboat...
need a shop fan? could be a real air mover.
or slap all that stuff on a vintage frame and build a bike in the style of your choosing.
How much for the forks and triple clamp? I may be interested. Suzuki right? I wonder if I can fit them on my bike. Would need to do some measuring 9/9/2010 1:28:19 AM |

gsx or gsx-r? worth very little as a package without frame. best part it on ebay for ~1k (assuming good wheels/forks) 9/10/2010 8:15:44 AM |

Hah. Well I don't have anything yet. The guy is selling just the driveyrain and such. Brakes. Shocks. Motor and trans. And wiring I guess. He's got no frame. The bike is an 06 with 5k miles. Don't think it's an R. 9/13/2010 8:40:15 AM |
