I would like some advice from you weirdos.
My current race bike
2008 SV650S
Pros:
I own it and know exactly what should be addressed
Engine rebuilt in ss trim would make about 85hp according to Spears but cost is $500 to $1500-more because I would want to undercut the trans.
Cons:
Dual spark
"bent beyond race spec" forks-TSE
tired 26000 mile engine that uses some oil needs ss rebuild.
Fairly simple fix tiny hairline crack in case that very slowly seeps oil (thanks to Virginia in the VA/Spoot crash)
Possible donor (swap) bike https://wausau.craigslist.org/mcy/d/...690277627.html
2004 SV650S
Pros:
13000 street miles owned by same person 9 years
Rebuilt stock suspension (i'd assume fully straight because it wasn't crashed thrice)
Lighter (aluminum subframe)
Normal spark plugs
Cons:
Gotta buy it $2400-2600. Would sell streeted race bike in spring for ~2000-2200.
Still stock engine making about 73hp
If I go the swap route I would transfer all stock street body parts to race bike(which is clear titled) and sell it as a kinda rough 2008 with 26k miles for a ~$400 loss in the spring.
Either way it's a bit complicated. Donor bike is a gamble for what I can sell it for in the spring but I could come out ahead in the money department + less use on parts as a whole.
