friesman Posted September 14, 2008 Share #4 Posted September 14, 2008 So, you have intentions of being slower Brian? Naughty, Naughty! lol LOL GW, Well, If Igya still has it and if we can agree on a price,,,,, it may be an easier and cheaper way to go than doing the rebuild, those trans parts add up, plus theres no 2nd gear issue with a 1300.

Just to shut Paul up throw in some Vmax cams and springs while you have it out and then let "The Rocket" try to catch you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor Posted September 14, 2008 Share #10 Posted September 14, 2008 Hey Brian, You go for it. Those 1300's aren't exactely slow... MOF you pro'bley won't be able to tell the difference unless you stick it on a dyno. Besides they have more bottom end 'grunt' than a 1200 ever will have. And guys like us need all the 'haul a$$' we can get.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxman Posted September 14, 2008 Share #16 Posted September 14, 2008 I'm putting my '87 VR engine up for sale and would appreciate someone giving me the weight of these engines w/o carbs. Do you still have the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igya Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share #17 Posted September 14, 2008 Do you still have the engine? Yep. However, the only way a person could come out ahead is to pick it up because of the shipping cost. I could make a free delivery up to about 200 miles from Springfield, MO. But, I have $750 in it and really don't need to sell it bad enough to loose money on it. That's about the cost of all the 2nd gear parts, not to mention the unbelievable labor envolved.

Besides, I enjoy reading all the notes on which is faster. Actually, It's really kind of funny just thinking about pulling up beside two VRs with both engines and turning on the burners of my Honda V65 Magna (which is loaded with touring stuff) and watch the telephone poles go by like a picket fence. Oops! I've done it again! This can will be FULL of angry worms!! Hey, just having fun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about what you've done to it and how "happy" the motor is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I haven't done anything to it. I bought it from a guy parting out an '87 VR because I didn't want to mess with my '85 1200 when 2nd gear went out. Well, now I've decided to sell my bike and get a newer one. I no longer need the engine. It's been out of a good running bike for only about 2 weeks now. It's good to go. Where do you live in Oklahoma? I go to Claremore now and then to visit. I used to live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
