Certainly a special. I wonder what a 500cc two stroke engine in the NC30 frame would be like....

Re: eBay 'specials' and other junk finds
Most interesting.
However, bought and moved on quickly rings a couple of alarm bells. May well be genuine, or a big problem has been discovered. I'd want to look at it in the flesh first. But for that price it is tempting regardless. Would be nice to see what else has been done to get the engine in there. It looks like there are some engine mounting brackets that are new but what else was needed? Also where is the 2Stroke tank, or is it premix? And the pipes, 2Strokes need good pipes to work well, I cant see how they look to get a rough idea of the quality of work.
But overall very interesting and a good project for some one...

Full race exhaust system ................ complete with rear manifold and oem front downpipes
Also I think this should get special attention in the Emerald Isle, as according to the description it comes with a "Paddy Daddy " end can

How has this reached that price already?
I know it looks well done, but an original bike would struggle to fetch much more than that.

Re: eBay 'specials' and other junk finds
I imagine the looks of a CBR600 coupled with the insurance costs of a 400 will appeal to the youth of today.
