SV650 Engine For Sale

[andybathuni]

The engine was to be used in a university project car but it was
replaced with an R6 engine :( before the chassis got made. The engine it
self is in very good condition, but the clutch basket needs replacing.

If possible, I wanted to sell the engine in one go. I'm based in Bath.
Looking for £300 ono.

There are some pics below but if anyone wants close up or details on anything just ask

:Dhi im looking for a sv650 engine has it got the side casings with it or do you get wot you see in the pics let me no thanks rob.

Hi Rob,

Yes it does come with the side casings as well, they just weren't attached at the time of the photos. If there is anything else you wanted to see in a photo, let me know.

forget the engine - post up some pics of your 'project' !!!! A go-kart with an R6 engine perhaps ??? MMmmmmmmmmm

What mileage has the engine done?

[yorkie_chris]

If its a formula student car then the R6 lump is common, but has to be quite heavily restricted on the air intakes.
Boring sods making safety rules :-P

what is the power limit? would have thought an Sv engine would be quite good due to its torque still be way more powerful than necessary

All fairly far off topic, but I'm just curious lol

hi will you take 250 cash thanks rob.

Yeah i think they are limited to a single throtle body and a washer is used to restrict the air intake or something like that. Ive got a friend using a cbr600f engine in his one and hes been having loads of fun making a quick shifter for it. Some of those cars are silly tho way to much money spent on something that reallistically cant get much over 50.

I do fancy making an off road buggy with a bike engine, that would be a right laugh.

No silly power limits either :D

Thanks for the interest everyone, the engine has now been (provisionally) sold.

As for the "project" yes it's a formula student car (a 2007 Honda CBR600RR engine in a chassis weighing 180kgs on 4 hoosier slicks). Pics and more info at www.teambathracing.com (http://www.teambathracing.com/)

As for power limits...there are none but 'cus the engine has got to breathe through a 20mm dia. restrictor the most we can get is about 100 bhp. The SV engine's torque was going to be ideal but gave some power away. And we're limited to 610cc so the engine was going to have to be sleeved as well. Packaging and weight are two of the most important things in the design to we ended up with the R6 last year and the CBR600RR this year. Sorry for the massive ramble!
