were they stock and 600cc. I raced acouple of 600 in quads on oval ice and with my 450 and half track they would start to pull away.

Maybe stewart or K5abuser can say in 1/4 mile race what would win. 600cc street bike or K5 with street rubber.

In a 1/4 mile, my moneys on the K5 as I've already seen some beat 600 sportbikes.  With a good holeshot they have a tough time trying to run ya down!

Paul,
I have a buddy that I used to race with that built a Banshee motor and mounted it into a RD 350/400 frame. (easy SWAP)
He ran a ZX9 fiberglass shell and that thing was not only trick looking but also very fast.  With these motors your combinations are endless.

Theres a chap who used to be on here who had a KX500 engine shoehorned into a Cagiva Mito 125 chassis, and theres been a few CR500/Cagiva Moto conversions as well.

This is a standard 125 Mito by the way as I assume that you lot over in the US don't get 125 two stroke road bikes
