Good idea? Care to expand on it? Are you suggesting an F8 engine in a G3? Or could this be an F8/s3 combo??

Yup! ... I always thought that a 500 single would make for a nice street bike but I've heard a horror story that the vibes would even make a H2 seem like a sewing machine! With that in mind, I reckon the best compromise for power/ vibe ratio would be a 250. Now that I said that, I guess it would make sense to be liquid cooled, reeds and a power valve.
As for the frame, any light enduro one would be fine... Maaayyybe the G3 frame is a stretch considering the wheelie factor but not a triple frame either, it would be too heavy.

Ah HA! I may have the answer you seek very shortly. The residue from a "score" for the G3SSE could provide the foundation for an "interesting single sport machine". We'll see later this week.

Not a single post since the one below from Walms 10 hours ago? National holiday in the Great White North or what? ?

Good idea Walms. There are any number of ways to build an interesting "single". That's one for sure!

Yeah, maybe a rebadged CBR125 with one of these KX motors in it.... Insurance would be cheap!

2006 KX250 How hard would it be to add a charging system to run lights, etc, to one of these?
