Anyone have space to inherit this in the next week? If not, I'll part it out, rebuild the motorcycle and cut the frame up for scrap/other projects. I had a blast with this and was excited to get it rolling, but I'm up to my ears in projects and now that cars/automotive design are my work and play, I just don't have the time for this. It will come with nearly everything needed to have it running and driving. All that's needed is a steering rack and misc. fabrication of brackets and things. The motor is rated at about 140hp and the estimated weight with driver should be below 900lb or so. http://heapv.com/build/ I have about $1000 into the FZR1000 (I have all original parts) and $700-1000 in misc parts (fuel cell, brake cylinders, clutch cylinder, push/pull cables, hardware, etc). The chassis is about $1000 in material and represents well over 750hrs of design and fabrication. Would take $1750 picked up (front wheels are borrowed and not included). Note: This was designed to be street legal and is basically a prototype vehicle. This is not a backyard hackjob; I have full engineering documentation of the chassis and had reproduction quoted (to a number north of $20k). It's a long shot, I know, just thought I'd give someone a chance before I hack it up and build a sweet sportbike. If you are even remotely interested (but serious), send me a PM and we can talk. I'd love to see someone finish this.
Well, I can only go by what seems to be posted everywhere online. Never had the bike on a dyno; never really rode it. Wikipedia says 145hp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_FZR1000) Bikez says 145hp (http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/yamaha_fzr_1000_1989.php) Motorcyclespecs says 145hp (http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/yamaha_fzr_1000_1989.php) If you've got a better source, by all means, share. If it's 118hp, I'll update my post, as I'd hate to short someone the 22hp.
