Dan took it back to his shop several times and replaced the motor. We split the cost of the new motor ($8,000 or $4,000 each). It was a bored out Honda 650sx engine to about 760 cc. I loved riding it until it quit on me. It was narrow (good for lane splitting) and very quick. It could beat any GSXR off the line. Plus I got to be friends with Dan Gurney and the family. He was my idle and I got to hang out with him. At one point an ex Indy car driver wanted to sell his Alligator for $27,000. Dan bought mine back for $22,000 with the understanding that I could repurchase it for that price if I had the money. Both of us (me and Indy Driver) will be sorry if it goes for the estimate of $70-$90K. I have a bad back and it was comfortable. Halfway through the assembly I went for a fitting for the seat and bars since there's no adjustment it has to be custom fitted. Dan did say most people bought them for collectibility not to ride. I bought mine to ride!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650861798339234190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164874096778415414.post-32380946613298478942015-12-09T18:31:38.903-07:002015-12-09T18:31:38.903-07:00want one!want one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164874096778415414.post-85503149074350883772013-05-25T02:38:26.463-06:002013-05-25T02:38:26.463-06:00What an imaginative man!
