Bart's

• Take a Honda 500CR, chop the frame and place the front fork and rear arm of a CBR900 onto it;  You will have a super-fast 500CC 2-stroke crotch rocket.
• buy a 97 or newer RS250 Grand Prix bike. Vtwin 250 two stroke, 88 h.p., doesnt weigh much more than a dirtbike. 160mph top speed. Oh yes. It will be mine. (2001 RS250 [dead link!]).
• we should build a turbo hayabusa
• You should get a low mile 91 740T, only 2900# with 320hp would fly, get one for $4k at worst for a mint one??
  upgraded turbo ~$1000
  head studs $ 100
  steel head spacer $ 100
  water/meth kit $ 300
  fuel injectors $1200??
  hd clutch $ 800
  diff locker $ 600
  
  for $8k you could have a super fast 740, probably as fast as the STI!
