  30. Crazy thought 7 Feb 2010 13:59 I've never looked at dimensions on the vf1000 motors, but AIR the 1000 is a stroked 750, which kept the size down. Don't know if you could actually bolt a 1000 motor in a 6 gen frame, but with a PCIII and FI, that would…

  34. Project VFR 4 Feb 2010 17:16 Though I appreciate the outcome and quality of work, I really don't understand why. If you wanted a CBR, why not trade in the VFR on a CBR. I figure once the HBars are lower than seat, you have negated one of the…
