RZ/R6 Hybrid
I've looked through the threads a bit and can't find anything other than one that had the tank and some other pieces but has anyone tried to do an RZ motor into a full R6 chassis? If so how did it turn out and what were some issues that you/they ran into with the build?

Re: RZ/R6 Hybrid
Good link! Should mostly be an issue of building a cradle and sprocket alignment but those are large issues to tackle. The RZ motor is much smaller an a I4. The large rear tire may be a bit underwhelmed by the power though.
You will of course see the R6 wrapped RZ500 on this site as well. Absolutely beautiful bike and could near pass for a R6 without closer inspection and all the extra pipes in place. I actually thought it was on a R6 frame as well until I was told otherwise by Rory.

Rory showed me a couple videos from visiting you. Very cool bike. Nice and tingy like a 2 stroke should be!

Thanks fellas. The kind words are always appreciated.
Now back to racerm0123’s hybrid. Build it, sir. I would love to see it. Sorry for the thread jack.
