aren't they a little high on the price of $2300?

Very much so, especially for a 2000 model, which was one of the two years suspectible to problems (Suzuki offered to fix all engine issues, and issued a global recall for affected users in June of 2000). On the other hand, this is a supposedly known-good, tested engine, complete with the works, from a reputible parter, and some users will pay extra for that.

I wish it didn't cost as much as one of my Katana's...I would stuff that in the 600 frame....and switch the 750 to the 771.....damn.

I saw the same engine a while back with a "buy it now" of $2800. Either the deal fell through or no-one wants to overpay that much. I want one of those, but not that badly!

Funny........ I have no idea WTF you are talking about. 01 and 02 motors burned oil excessively due to faulty pistons and Suckzuki finaly issued a Service Bulletin concerning that issue, but I have NEVER heard of any issue with the 2000 motors.

Yes, I replaced my pistons in mine for the very same reason.

I hope they paid for it -- since they offered

Meanwhile, I saw the 6/2000 notice for engine defects at GE Insurance's recall notice board:

Note that this is not the same as an NTSC recall.

THat seller normally is WAY over priced on most of their stuff..................

Check out his other Katana stuff & you'll roar! $150 CDI units! HAH! I offered him TEN of them for $250! He politely turned me down, saying he was having trouble moving what he already had! DOH! GUess so, at $150 price tag!
