I dunno about a like new crate motor....but it seems that pinwall cycle always has a used road star engine on ebay from a wreck salvage...usually around $1500, but you never know more about the condition other than the mileage of the bike before it was wrecked...sometimes they play a video of the bike before parting it out so you can hear the engine run.

I think that new factory crate motors are dealer only items. Not saying you cannot get one but its gonna cost ya....I could be wrong though.

That is a salvage dealer in my town he has videos of the bike running usually. Been there a few times they seem to be very careful. These are insurance buys for the most part. You see something there I could go down and look at it most advertised have already been torn down.

Not knocking Yamaha here but I've had my eye on an HD evo based 127 inch Ultima/6-speed package for my ground up build that runs about 6 grand. The thing is supposed to pump out 140 horse.
