Gotta shop for deals and do the work yourself, i picked up a complete engine for 200 and spent the other 8 on mods, probably spent closer to 1500 but not too much either way. I dont mess with bikes much, but ive taken out a lightly modded 600 with it. Lol.
And when you say bikes have power, they dont, they just dont have any weight. When you build an engine from scratch with your own hands, holla at me and well line up.
Cost nothing to build a house compared to resale, once again you have to shop around, though it takes a little longer. Build it yourself 2 story log cabin kits 4000 sq ft here are like 25 grand. I pick up left over materials, auction ****, i know alot of people that do this stuff and acquire **** dirt cheap. I guess the average person cant do it that cheap, but then again im not the average person.
And if you doubt that engine has 5 at the crank, youre stupid.
