I can get a 2001 r1 cheap, my brother bike...I want to build a track only bike with it, and of course I'd prefer a two-stroke  |

Tough to beat the cheap R1 if you are thinking performance only track bike and I believe the 500 is expensive to rebuild.

Most likely, probably damn near impossible to find as well

Anybody else wonder why 1000 supersports are sold to the general public? Don't get me wrong, I love them but top speed in first is 138km...lol

you can find an RZ500 engine for sale probably 3 or 4 times a year, more often in Europe I suppose but it'll cost between $3000 - $8000 dollars

I know the Suzuki are really rare, the Yamaha seems to be a little more common

RZ 500 is case AND port reed, the RG is rotary valve. both motors are delicate, and hard to find parts for. $$$$$$$$$

I can get the bike for next to nothing so putting another 10000$ into it to basically make it slower, don't make sense. Be way cooler but an r1 is an amazing bike...just a pipe dream I guess

Ya, even if you could, it wouldn't be worth using it for a track only machine.  Stick with a 600 or, if you're really nuts, maybe a 1000 sportbike. Way more practical and fun in the long run. |

I know guys like you. "Give me bigger, badder, faster!"  |
