caleb205 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 i've noticed some posts where people have bought street bike engines and implanted them in their quads. i've got a buddy who wrecked his cbr 600 a few years back, just now paid it off, and asked me if i'd be interested in it. it is very salvagable, but i have no interest in rebuilding something that i'd end up killing myself on. that was his plan all along, to rebuild it, but his finances have hit a serious wall, his home was just foreclosed on, and i believe he's filing bankruptcy. anyway i was just curious as to what engines like this have gone for on here in the past and if i would have any luck selling on here. it's in great shape with low hours (bought it off a girl who's boyfriend bought it for her and rarely rode it) and last time i asked it started and ran perfectly. if anyone is wondering he sideswiped a tree and totaled the front end. needs new front end and that's it. the engine and rear don't have a scrape on them. dented in the front of the gas tank and everything from there back wasn't damaged at all. i'm thinking of buying it and just parting it out as long as i can make up the $1000 he wants for it. caleb Quote

I can get low mile r1 motors for a little under 900 commonly around here. Quote
