so what engines fit in a ZXR400 frame - I mean, would it be worth sticking a 450cc Aprilia vtwin lump in from my mates crashed supermoto, little extra kick in that lump...

Could be fun, and the sound will scare people!!! :smt003

The down-side is that you'll get overtaken by Chavs in Nova's. :smt064

Unless you can change the gearing? I suppose just the sprockets would do a lot here...
