Anyone have space to inherit this in the next week? If not, I'll part it out, rebuild the motorcycle and cut the frame up for scrap/other projects. I had a blast with this and was excited to get it rolling, but I'm up to my ears in projects and now that cars/automotive design are my work and play, I just don't have the time for this. It will come with nearly everything needed to have it running and driving. All that's needed is a steering rack and misc. fabrication of brackets and things.

I have about $1000 into the FZR1000 (I have all original parts) and $700-1000 in misc parts (fuel cell, brake cylinders, clutch cylinder, push/pull cables, hardware, etc). The frame is about $800 in material and represents well over 1000hrs of design and fabrication. Would take $1750 picked up (front wheels are borrowed and not included).

Note: This was designed to be street legal and is basically a prototype vehicle. This is not a backyard hackjob; I have full engineering documentation of the chassis and had reproduction quoted (to a number well north of $20k).

It's a long shot, I know, just thought I'd give someone a chance before I hack it up and build a sweet sportbike. If you are even remotely interested (but serious), send me a PM and we can talk. I'd love to see someone finish this.
