Bike is in Birmingham, Alabama.
Bike has won lots of races and several regional championships and has been very reliable. Initial engine build by Speedwerks in 2005 - I raced a superstock motor in it before then. It broke at camshaft at the GNF in 2006, Bee Johnson from Tuning by Bee fixed it, and it hasn't skipped a beat since. It was raced monthly from 2003 until GNF 2006, then sporadically since. Some track days thrown in there too. I lowsided it in the rain at Mid-Ohio a couple of years ago - my only crash on the bike.

http://29dreamsracing.com/bike.htm for more bike details, notes, and tons of pics - some at varying dates.
I want to sell as a complete, racer-ready package. Completely legal in WERA D Superbike, Formula 2, and V6LW. It can win in D Superbike and V6LW, but it is outmatched by Superbike SV650's and the fast 2-strokes in Formula 2. In all honesty this bike has been fast and reliable. I've got a ton of spares - this has everything you need to go racing and have tons of your own spares. I'm including everything and not keeping anything - I'm NOT wanted to part anything out - new owner is welcome to sell off any spares they dont want. There will be more stuff than what I've listed below.
Basics:
Superbike 428cc (2mm overbore) engine (more details below). I paid $4,100 in 2005 to build motor.
New unpainted sharkskinz upper, lower, and tail section mounted
Brand new battery. Starts easily - runs perfect - ready to race. Electric Start with stock starter. Total loss with battery voltage LED on the dash. I can run all day with no issues. I usually plug into battery tender between sessions, but not always.
Stock wheels - 17" front and 18" rear. Used Bridgestone slicks mounted - some tire life left, but you're not going to run up front without a set of new tires.
FCR Flatslide carbs - with notes. I've got these tuned and they work fine year-round. The very slow stuff isnt perfect, but they are great at high rev's on the track.
A cheap rear stand is included (I'm keeping the pit bulls for my other bikes). The bike does have rear spools installed.
Spares included:
More than 1 set of full used bodywork - perfectly usable - painted and rashed.
2 sets of spare forks.
2 extra front wheels (one orange w used slick, one black with used rain tire)
3 extra rear wheels (one white with used rain tire, one orange with used slick and no rotor, one black with used rain tire)
Spare engine oil line, water pump, oil pump.
At least 2 spare exhausts and parts.
Absolutely tons of near-perfect Vortex gearing (some brand new).
Boatload of parts - extra pegs, levers, case covers, clip ons, clutch plates, oil filters, etc.
