I was thinking more SP1 frame and a VFR 800 motor with RC45 bodywork should make a dead ringer for 1999 suzuka bike with the conventional swingarm. If the engine fits it should be resonably cheap too.

Great Food for Thought, guys! ;) Have a contact who offers various bike spares as it his living and that is including multiple VFR750/800 engines for approx. 350 to 500 euro each. But I just watched some race of the eTTXGP..keeps me thinking of an electric powered RVF... :scared:

An electric RVF :o Please god no :lol: The race series is cool for development but as a serious road bike i couldnt think of anything worse, i just couldnt get excited riding one the noise of a mechanical engine is half the enjoyment for me. They've killed off 2 strokes tho so evolution says were next :scared:
