DR650 with SV650 Motor

[AdrenalineJunky]

I saw a pretty bad ass DR650 with an SV650 motor crammed in it at Sonoma last year, and talked to the guy briefly, and saw him pass me numerous times (usually on one wheel) I was wondering if anyone has heard of this idea before or if anyone knows who I am talking about?

Think you could stuff an SV motor in a DRZ? I would love to pick the guys brain who had the franken DR650.

he works at monroe motors, the DR was my old bike I sold on CL due the idler gear cracking the case. previously, he stuffed an air-cooled ducati twin into a cannondale dirt bike and plated it. the SV motor is out of a 1st. gen. lots of modding to make it fit, but not impossible with the right tools and swearing....
