Todd are you saying I just paid 1200.00 for an 08 GSXR complete wiring/exhaust/throttle bodies this engine will be around that price?...Don't get me wrong, I am for evolution and as long as it does not get to the point of Focus and Eco-tech this will be a good thing..I already allow quick changes just because of the versatility. I don't think adding a driveline is a big deal where you can buy a newer updated midget for the same as a mini....even if you wanted to stay all bike engine it would be like a kenyon car on dirt...I just don't want to have to go out and by a engine for 6 grand and spend another 5 grand on acc. and as it is right now IF you run a STOCK bike engine rule you are only out about 3 grand tops....this is the whole issue $$$$$...some can afford the big $$$$ but most can't and we as promoters need to control the cost of this class as it is very very affordable to get into and to maintain.....If you feel the need to spend more $$$$$ there is PowrI and USAC midgets or if you really want to spend some there's the WoO....
