    The parts come the scrappies.
    An MPi head is about £15
    The exhaust system/Manifold for a rapid/estelle is about £45 in CZ new,
    and the 110R camshaft is still common in CZ parts breakers shops.

    And I believe auto sport in Birmingham would would lighten a flywheel
    and balance a set of rods and crank for about £60 each, so under £150
    for both.

    The dearest part would be carbs for a pair of used DHLA 40s

    You think you could just buy a bigger, more powerful bike than a
    Hayabusa? You really are thicker than IU thought then.

    You can, through the usual specialist importer channels. There aren't
    many in the UK tho', something to do with their cornering ability I'd
    guess.

    Anything is possible.
    There is even the one with the jet ranger engine in.

    So like I said, build with what you have.
    You said buy a bigger engine, so did I.
    What is the difference?

    There is always bigger and there is always more powerful.
    Some people like to tune what they have and get the best they can.
    Maptun have made a Saab 9000 2.3 on stock internal put out over 500BHP.
    One of their customers did some more and got over 600. That is from a
    225bhp base. Why not, because they can, no other reason. My Lex has
    250BHP, about 65 per litre. Plenty of room for improvement. I might not,
    but plenty do.
