Man... and you thought fixing the 750 was going to be work..LOL..

 Its gonna be more work fitting that engine, than you would have had to do to the 750..

 Have you ever opened a CB 750 up?.. one of the only engines I have seen that you can re &re every part in the engine, with 2 fists full of tools. Truly one of the easiest motors to work on..

Meh, maybe it would be difficult for you, but working in a garage is a little bit different then working in a full machine shop. So I might have to move a few bars around and make new motor mounts, but really that seems way easier to me than to try and get the questionable 750 running.

Have you ever tried to get a fuel injected motor started for the first time? I can tell you that it is way easier than trying to get a 33 year old carbed motor idling.

haha, yeah, I'm more handy with a laptop than with setting jets. I should clarify, the machine shop I am speaking of is a full on fabrication facility where we turn out things like this:

I think it will be a HONDUKI since it is a Suzuki GSXR motor  ;D
