dont let this happen

<< < (5/5)

Bryanj:
The F2 in that knick is geting rarer and it WILL need new exhaust valve guides plus associated work NO MATTER how well it runs now

K2-K6:
It looks fairly original from the pics and seems to have most of the stuff people look for when doing a restore of this model.

I look at it this way, it's the absolute end of the line of the original four cylinder japanese/world superbike and will only get more rare. A big shame to split it up when there are so many more K2-K6 range around that nobody would really miss.

I think the value of these will head much more towards K0 values in the coming years and will really come into it's own as a very valid historic, and as you've found they are really nice to ride.

My vote would be to keep it original (you'd probably be able to sell at a profit in future) and blue was the nicest colour they came in as well.

hope this link works to my photobucket site more pics f2 appreciate points using engine as doner, and it does seem like f1 f2 prices are rising i,d love to keep her as she is but to tax mot and insure 2 bikes is pricy. its a quick fix to getting chop on road with a solid engine plus someone has a good basis- rolling chassis to put back on road.
i,m going to start a new post-engine swop- as problems arise-advice hopefully straightforward.

Bryanj:
I think that straightforward will NOT be the word for it as F2's have differentt inlet rubbers and carbs and do not take to any modifications in the inlet tract well (EG pods) and are a real swine to tune as well plus they are a bit "Peaky" for a chop and will wear the valve guides out quickly necessitating a top end strip and rebuild, for which a lot of parts like piston and rings (unique to the F2) are very difficult to find.

Without being silly you would be far better passing on the complete bike and getting a K engine to put in there
