cant find any thing on price of bike engine costs using the search, so what kind of money are you looking at to install a zx12 engine? also how does
it compare to other options ie: busa, fireblade, R1 and so on......
just while im thinking, does anyone have a comparison of performance of all the above engines?
try yorkshire engines, he's a user on thi site and apparently very helpful, I' don't know as I'm old skool xflow.

search for malc at yorkshire engines.
my old mans just built a x-flow but now im keen to get some thing with a bit more umph and a nice soundtrack. thanks for the input
its goin in a spire gtr, just thought i'd mention
That makes a difference to cost as the engine could be mounted in the same way as the bike and thus not need dry sumping (I am thinking busa).
It may also not need a custom manifold because you could possibly use the bike's manifold.
does anyone know if anyone has fitted a zzr1400 yet?
and that goes like stink..
Hi a zx12 can be got from around £1200 to £1700 for a 06/7
i was at spire last week and he got 2 kits from me
this is a good chassie as well the motor works well with it
as far as zzr14,s go i have sold 6 now all to car builders in fact spire has one and will be fitting it soon
i have ridden the zzr14 and its awesome and i have ridden fast bikes all my life believe me its quick
malc, how much power does the 07 zx12 produce? Im guessing it must be 200 is the zx10 is being quoted at 180?
Joel, the ZZR1400 replaced the ZX12R in 2006. There is no 2007 ZX12R

i see! The extra 400cc didnt make much difference then did it, a mere 20bhp!

id expect surge anyway myself, as the forces in braking will be similar to the cornering forces, over a g, so the oil still gets pulled one way or another. In the bike the engine leans so the oil doesnt feel the full lateral force.
The 12 has a massive belly (not flat) where the oil pick up pipe feeds from, IMO there isn't much chance of it going dry under normal use.
Trackdays and racing may be a different matter...

I am sure that when I looked at the red demo GTR the engine was mounted at 90 degrees to what it would have been in the bike, so you would get the oil surge issues

Cheers JoelP. I have also given him a quick call to see what he has in
O
I can recommend Malc. Great service with the '06 R1 I had off him last year and he's been loads of help with questions and stuff since
then.

malc, what do you get with the engine kits?
