Just wondering if anyone has ever looked at this option. Its a long shot but often engines from the same family dont vary much (I have just put a Pegaso 650 single into an Aprilia RS125 chassis without too much hassle for example)

Would there be much performance advantage? VF500s also had serious reliability issues

Please make it worthwhile if you do an engine swap!

The vfr750 engine would be nice.

The VF500 was crap compared to the VFR400. The technology in the 500 was 1970s-era VF while the VFRs were all F-1 race technology that, in some cases, still stands as top-notch to this day.

Leave 'er be.

Aye! 454 pistons would be better option than the cam chain driven VF engine

Any pics of RS Pegaso????

I would, but I dont have any photo hosting site and I dont know if a pic can be inserted any other way

use a free photo hosting site, i.e: imageshack, tinypic..anything besides photosuckit..lol mainly because my computer religiously hates pics hosted on photobucket
