Take a bigass two-stroke MXer and turn it full motard. KX500, dry weight 230lbs, stock engine ~65 HP. Add the lighting coil, bicycle instruments, and street legal crap, should be easy to register it AZ or OR. Add 17in rims with sticky rubber, and a heavier flywheel to help keep the front end on the ground. With the addons and liquids, probably ~300lbs. That engine has a good record for reliability, esp for a dinger. Might need to look at frame flex, probably needs a little bracing and gussetting to shore it up. Synthetic premix and your friends wont think you're dusting for misquitoes. MarkB < dreams of motard in green> Ya, 40HP sucks.

Gee, and gosh - why didn't why did I not buy a KTM 950 and put a wet NOS
system on it? Heck with that - I should buy a V-10 mopar motor, put a blower
on it and build a bike around it, and put dual 20 pound NOS supported
systems on it for good measure.
