I hear what you're saying Shane but you could buy a 360 top end for $2000 and put it on a nice $7000 250RZ and have a 360 Mugen for $9000!

And still have the std parts for collectors sake johnny. I would love to trade one of my bikes for a 250rz in any case. They are a pretty bike as one vmx fello once said to me. (Bruce mcfarland)

sometimes JO I could kill you - moving on a MotoX Fox 360 - blasphemy  :'(

Would be nice to see - any photos.  There weren't many of those around were there?

And - how many Mugen top ends have you seen for $2K.

Also shouldn't forget the fox forx and shocks.  A set of fox forx are not cheap are they?

I factored those prices in on what I've seen the parts selling for in the US and UK Ross.
Yes the Mugen should've been a keeper but I'd just built a 490 maico and preferred it to ride and I got a good offer on the mugen.. there were none around back then.
