ZZR 400/750 Hybrid
750cc ZZR anyone? Just picked up a 400 rolling chassis for £50 with V5 Perfect for my spare GPX motor Won't be starting it just yet, need to get the GPX done first but I'll be doing a full build thread when the time comes
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Just picked this one up. Will probably end up breaking it. On the look out for a twin (xs400,gpz500,gs500) to put in a buggy.

First dibs on the front discs, calipers and spindle then
Or I may just take whatever's left after you've raped it

Re: ZZR 400/750 Hybrid
Actually, I may be able to get my hands on an NTV650 Vee-Twin engine if you'd consider one of those in part-ex for the bike?
Edit: I may be able to get a GPZ500S engine next week as well.....

Re: ZZR 400/750 Hybrid
Ahh a V-twin is the wrong shape for me.. I have a Honda Bros400 here. The gpz5 might be a goer, but I'm looking for a complete bike to avoid having to buy lots of parts off a robbing breaker...oh hang on A quality s/h parts reseller I'm a long way from you too!!

Re: ZZR 400/750 Hybrid
Ordinarily it doesn't, the ZZR being a stressed member engine and the GPX having a full cradle. However, I have the engine and the rolling chassis has cost less than a DID chain so I'll make it fitunemployable mcc wrote:done the 600 swap myself , never new the gpx 750 lump fitted

Re: ZZR 400/750 Hybrid
The GPX engine fits
It's a tight fit but it's in. Just need to get the front engine mounts fabricated then I can shuffle the engine about and measure up the rears
