Decision Made

Ok ..I'm blessed..to have a mate like Young Mick..I've been pondering over this dilemma regarding the new engine thingy..Do I sell ZX10R and spend nearly $11,000.oo on a bite ya nuts Off Race engine.well really that's what a 185+ horsepower dyno'd at rear wheels is ..Do I need or is it just adolescent want.I even dreamt about it last nite.. I know I want it..But waking up this morning I realised I don't need it..what I do need is a strong reliable motor that will take me troublefree over 2000, 6000, 20000 klm's and when I feel the urge too, to crack open and blast off.. 
 
So today the Mikuni's arrived and I took them out to the shed to show Young Mick, very Purrdie they are, he agreed.. at which point I told him about the forbidden fruit tree of knowledge you beaut bite ya nuts off engine offer.. after some serious discussion we came up with the right answer..Get Young Chris to pull down 1000Rx engine go over it make sure that all is OK and then slide in some of the good bits.. Old heads prevail..common sense wins out.. an email has been sent outlining needs ..awaiting answer.. will sleep soundly troublefree tonite :)
