Oh no. I was thinking the same thing Chet was. A Harley would be very cool but not the fastest. I'd like to see that.

Go for the gsxr tons of aftermarket parts can make lots of power. I went with honda but I've always liked them. Their isn't much out there that "will kick sand in your face" at least thats been my experiance with my cbr power.

Use an R-5 motor, then you can say "My bike is twice what your banshee is" and it will be the truth [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Besided, I see no reason it couldnt make over 200hp without getting wild, and much much more if you got in a bad mood. Besides, it would really **** the greenies off if you could get one. Just picture two powervalved banshee engines stuck together, not to mention they are stroked DOWN to 250. Just imagine how big you could make this motor, 2 510 kits installed would make a compact 4 cylinder 1020cc powervalved 2 stroke that would burn anything this side of.... well.... the planet. Now, then you slap a turbo on it and run it on methanol. Have an ambulance on standby. The adrenaline rush will make you soil yourself so also have some clothes on standby.

Also, im not sure but some banshee parts should fit it.... maybe.

R1 sounds good, but $$$ find a old beater bike off ebay and take the motor out, a harley motor or snowmobile motor would be cool![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Thanks Jay and Shaneb- When i get it sorted out i will be calling.

I am wavering back and forth on this. The evil side says crotch rocket and the more mature side says wicked built raptor and use the 2003 for trails/dune riding

Go with the wicked side. Anybody can stuff a 150 hp bike motor in a frame and make it run. Stay with the factory motor and make it just as bad as you can.

Alltough those 500cc two stroke road race bikes are something to see, and extremely light.
