Default what should i do!?

yarrrr .. choices!! lol

ok. moved my stuff out ofth old shop tonight. forgot just how much 600 crap i have, SO i am confronted with this.

my bike lineup is:
'93 ZX6-E ????-duty (slightly tweaked frame, 80K on the motor)
'94 ZX6-E ????-duty (used as parts bike, broken pistons, case is minty however)
'00 ZX7-R street/show/race duty (after turblow treatment, of course)
00 Xr100R stunt/trail monster (will get street tires from my supplier soon)

so. the hundo.. stunter and trail. we know it's got a job..

same with the 7-R.. (not stunt/trail...lol) it's getting show/street/strip duty. a gorgeous show-quality bike thas streetable and kills busas on spray.

SO.. what to do with the 600's!?

i have 1 complete set of PERFECT plastic dying for paint. lots of other bits and pieces.. the 94 frame is perfect. the 93 (sub)frame is a little tweaked. got 2 motors, 1 is blown, the other has 80+ K on it (60K from me!!!) i think 1 front rim is tweaked from my wreck (same wreck that bent the subframe)

options for them

-track bike
-trailer queen, perfect (non-running) show bike
-street bike
-maybe a stunter (using the tweaked frame)

i can bend the frame back i think, so i might make IT a track bike and put decent plastic on it and go hit up summit point. make the other a street and show masterpiece.. considering painting it identical to the 7 and taking the pair to bike shows.

the other (blown) motor i think might cost a good bit to get working. blown up, fragged clutch, (basket ok..) 3 cracked pistons (bore and head ok) but has a perfect case. the other case i had to weld where i had crashed i after trying my hand at wheelies after getting the bike.. but i could make both run..

so.. whats your thoughts? if you had 2 bikes, what would you do? i don't really wanna sell them.. stuntin sucks on a carburated bike, so.. eh.. lol as much as i love stuntin, i'd rather do it on an EFI bike..

i'm thinkin track bike and decent street bike, (also teach ppl how to ride on it.. maybe cage it for that purpose), or REAL nice street bike and track star.. i really want a track bike, so that'll probably be in the mix either way..

Bro, my 2 cents, dont use a tweaked frame for a track bike so make that one for show and use one of the trashed motors if you can get it running. Build a good bike out of the one with the straight frame and go from there.
Only do stunts on the fiddy so you wont get hurt and you wont tear up your bikes again!

I agree with not using a tweaked frame for track purposes. Will teach you some bad habits along with being dangerous. Would cost you more in the long run.

ya. i figured the minty frame would see the track, and the other one may not see anything at all.. i don't need 2 street bikes, but eh.. i think i might DEFINITELY track the straight one and the other one might see light street/training use, or a trailer queen custom show build up. Hmm...

fix up the 600's and sell them to pay off any fines you may have?
