It is being postponed at the moment as I am having too much fun in the Rocket. Realistically either the Rocket must go or the Hayabusa engine must go

I'm sure you would have plenty of offers for either.
Anyway how much space can a small bike engine take up, you've got a nice big garage with loads of room, keep both.

I seem to recall that you recently claimed your Rocket, after a full costing, had just snuck north of 10k, I remember commenting at the time that it appeared to be due to the higher priced powder coating you used. So to be fair I am happy to put in an offer around that price, I'll cover the shipping of course What do you think, it will leave space for a new project. ;D You'll have to be quick though as my kit will soon be finished and ready to ship, I wont need two so it is a limited time offer.

I think most kit cars are difficult to call on value - it's worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. I would possibly make more in breaking the car back down and selling as individual components, but I could not do that and would prefer to take a hit on it to allow me to build another project. I am in no rush and may even keep it long term, but like anything - we all have a price (realistic). I did not build it to sell it and I have put alot of energy into building it. It would be heartbreaking to see it go, but i do love building them

I fully agree John. I know that mine is going to cost 15+ when its done, without my hours, when i see them struggle to make 10k its a bit demoralising and im unsure of spec and bling. I know thats just on ebay etc but still. and like you say, im building this for me not for a sale in the slightest. but again like you mentioned, everyone and everything has a price..lol It would be a shame to have to let it go as it really is a beauty, cant wait to see it running in the flesh. and would love a shot as a passenger just to see what it will be like when the charger is up and running..
anyway.. back to topic, sorry
