Been seeing this on the YouTube. That VR6 can sounds deep, burbly, and when you crack 'er open, downright MENACING.

It's like going to pet the tiny, adorable little fuzzy kitten and it opens up its mouth and roars with enough force to make people 3 zip codes away crap their pants...and leaving you nothing more than a pair of Lugz and a soiled pair of tighty whiteys...

Didn't Kaw discontinue the 500? Hmmm...wonder if the economy has recovered enough that they're cooking up an...um..."Upgraded" 500 for 2011 or later...

I've always wondered when a swap was going to be done. After all, you are limited by the Ninjette's limited cc count, and there's only so much you can do. A bigger engine just makes more sense, but there's lots of legwork to do. Thanx to ztrack157 and Sportisi, now we see that it is possible. Gonna follow this thread and see where it goes. Hmm, now I gotta get preliminary pricing on a 500 engine.

Johnny

PS: Saw this while searching for HP figures for the 500. Could this engine fit???
