The prices that we have so far for GSXR600's do NOT appear to be factory or
factory dealer list prices.
Those are salvage yard prices. See Jay's post on the Eformula site.
If we want to play that game, the price on a low mileage Suzuki 600 2-stroke
with EFI and ECU is a in the $1000 category. I checked this AM with a
dealer in Thief River Falls where the factory salvage yard is.
Rebuild prices have not been compared properly yet either.
2-stroke rebuild parts have to be cheaper then MC parts since the 2-strokes
mainly only need 2 sets of rings and 2 pistons/pins, not 4 ring sets and
piston/pins+ 20 valves and valve seats plus cam parts and many more seals
and bearings. 4 throw crank and 4 rods isn't cheap either if you need go
that far.
Freshening up a 20 valve MC motor has to always include doing 20 valves and
seats also. Then setting valve lash on all valves and retiming both cams. +
new timing chain/belt.
