I saw one with a Honda Nighthawk 750 engine in it. Looked cool. Thinking of doing that myself... Can't beat Honda reliability. And a Nighthawk engine can be found cheap so can parts...

Yeah I think that was it. I'm thinking of looking into some kind of newer 600cc sportbike engine... Maybe a gsxr600,R6 something like that...

Put an LT500 in it.........
I've done over a dozen of these swaps.
No big deal and looks like the factory put it there if done right.
