Post by wonderpupp »

so what engines fit in a ZXR400 frame - I mean, would it be worth sticking a 450cc Aprilia vtwin lump in from my mates crashed supermoto, little extra kick in that lump...

Could be fun, and the sound will scare people!!! :smt003

The down-side is that you'll get overtaken by Chavs in Nova's. :smt064

Unless you can change the gearing? I suppose just the sprockets would do a lot here...
Who needs tyres when you've got knees!! :twisted:

on th first page

two threads asking if anyone wants their bike

second page

gasket leak, oil in airbox

not aprilia's finest achievement. They do have a new engine though.
