I spotted that too, seems the listing has ended. I can <--> that close to making an offer.

I have spent most of today discovering what Suzuki engines fit in what frames.

I'm now looking for a cheap 90's GSXR750 and a Blandit 1200 engine.
Have you found oldskoolsuzuki.info? Should keep you entertained for a while

I reckon you'd have to be J Whitham standard to get that around a track quickly.

I dunno. People tell me it’s a very enjoyable engine to use on the road and I’ve no reason to disbelieve them.

I've not ridden a Rapide, but the Comet was nice, if much heavier than it needed to be for a 500 single.

I was more referring to the butchered featherbed.

I can’t see where the frame is “butchered.”

The pics are a bit indistinct, but it looks like the in-unit Vincent gearbox has been sawn off the back of the engine and an AMC gearbox used.
