An nc30 engine would be another 30kg's on top of that.

yeah there's a couple about, one was owned by a lad called rob at mito mondo (cagiva specialist)

but from what I've read, big single thumper = vibration :|
The Honda RFVC 500 / 650 engine used in the XR/XL 650 / XR500 / XBR500 / GB500 doesn't vibrate too much as it has a nice balancer shaft and is muchos fun.

Just be warey of worn cams / rockers.
