The easiest question is do you want to build or do you want to drive? Answer that and it solves your dilemma. And don't forget it's not
just the build, you have got iva (£475 if you pass first time) plus registration and tax etc.
Also a modern zx10 engine is as powerful if not more powerful than a busa lump and won't require dry sump or accusump. I'm guessing that
the price quoted from mk won't include dry sump. The zx10 engine is lighter too.

mind you Tom and i were only just talking the other day about my driving in the very very wet at a considerable speed on the way home from a kit car
show with yourself. I was dry as a bone when i got home, speed = rain goes right over the head lol.
Hmm, remember it well. It wasn't the rain wetting me I was worried about. Felt like I was in danger of finding out if the water still went over
your head when travelling backwards at 90!... and if it did, there was still the damger of wetting myself. A cup of coffee in Costa untill it stopped
was more inviting.
OP. If you feel like seeing what a FuryR1 feels like, I'll be at BlytonPark for a track day on the 29th. You're welcome to a few
passenger laps.

That's where the problems start, as I want to do both

You need to build then! If you get one ordered and your reasonably competent on the tools you could be built ready for iva next summer (if we get one)
my build took 3 years but in that time I changed jobs, house, New garage, New baby and changed my mind from cec to bec halfway through and I painted
my car. I reckon I could easy do a build in 6 months now, especially if you get a complete kit.

seeing as your in Yorkshireland go and have a look at Mnr. I've only dealt with them buying parts but they have always been very helpful, they
do a nice looking car too.

I've built three Mega(Whatevers) Westfield over the past 10 years. Engines have been varied (GSXR750/1000/1300), TL1000R, Blades 893,919,929 and
Yamaha R1 (5JJ and 5VY). Cars have all been destroyed on the circuit, with only a broken collarbone, two ribs and an arm on me. The crash strength is
very good, particularly the Euro chassis. I'm building my 2nd Euro at the moment (S1000RR).
I've looked at others, but really, Westfield quality and parts availability does it everytime.

Ooh how you doing the engine management on the s1000r? Are you doing a build diary?

Just to update, I have now placed my order with the great guys at Mac#1 for a ZX10R Worx so will be starting my build in December all being well.
