For my mechanical engineering senior design project I am designing and building a transaxle (forward/reverse gears) similar to the GRM Berzerkley and Quaife Engineering designs, but with a few improvements (PLC controlled air shifting, reverse lockout, speedometer output, helical gears, etc).

Once my current RX7 project gets finished this winter/spring, I want to start on a midlana/locost type vehicle with a 1000cc+ engine/trans so I can also fully test out my transaxle (Plus it looks fun as hell). I'm in the early design phase and trying to create a budget. I'm thinking buying a mostly complete crashed/parts bike would be the best option, but I really only need the engine/trans and wiring.

What should I pay for a running 2000 or newer, fuel injected, liter bike or hayabusa? I saw a hayabusa for $2000 on CL. Should I expect lower?

Thanks guys

Does this give you an idea?

hayabusa is 1300cc not 1000cc

Thing to remember Suzuki GSXR's model years for engines changes run every two years since 2001. So 01 and 02 are exactly the same motor. The 03-04 have updates. 05-06 are updated again 01-02 are running around $1000-1200 for a full motor kit right now. 03-04 for bare motor (no injection, no starter, no stator) $700-$900 (just picked one up for 700 for a freind two weeks ago) 07-08's i see going for $2500-$3000 for full kits.

01-04 Gixxer 1000 motors are the same, as in they will bolt into the same chassis and work with the same ECUs. BUT you must use all sensors/throttle bodies/wiring with whatever year ECU you have. The physical engines will interchange but none of the wiring/sensors will.
