..it has come a *sad* time to sell this lovely machine...
The engine and swingarm mounting was done by professionally by a machine shop (Bill at Quality Machine in SF) about 5 years ago. I've put maybe 30 hours on the bike since the swap. I own 6 motorcycles, so this one has *ahem* mostly been a garage queen
The motor swap was a one-off creation, not any type of "kit" - there is not "kit".
This bike is actually a compilation of actually 4 NSR's that I bought over the years, grabbed their sexy parts, and put them on this bike. It is street legal, as in it has plates and insurance and a title and all that. The motor swap is technically not street legal but I've yet to find a cop who knew enough to care to notice, AND who also cares enough to hassle me about it - everyone who sees it is just blown away at how pretty and small it is, and how fast it is considering its size.... with the right gearing i'm sure it could hit 100mph, but you'd be a fucking idiot to get it going that fast. Its currently geared to top out at about 70 or 75mph, and it gets thru the gears insanely quick....
Mods:
2007 CRF150R motor + swingarm swap
Brembo duel piston front caliper (G-craft bracket)
Brembo rear caliper
Brembo front brake master cylinder RCS15
steel braided brake lines
aftermarket front nose fiberglass bodywork
custom 1-off carbon fiber front fender
FMF 4.1 muffler with *obviously* custom header and pipe
adjustable rear shock
upgraded front fork valves, stiffer springs and heavier oil
6 spoke black rims
aluminum upper triple clamp
lightweight aluminum 38T rear sprocket
lighting/electrical is a total loss system
push start only
catch bottle
red rim tape
....even has new tyres (less than 100 miles)
all maintenance is up to specs, new fluids, valves recently adjusted etc etc
Impossible to say what the bike is worth, I have well over $10k (stopped counting around that point), and countless, countless hours of time in it... countless. Obviously its not worth nearly that, but I do know a 100% OEM NSR50 in good shape, that is street legal in CA - goes for about $3000, so its gotta be worth substantially more than that considering the sexy mods and motor swap
I'll start off at, say $6000 obo
I'm in no rush to sell it, and if I cant get what I want for it - I have no problem keeping it as living room decor
