I have a 2008 CBR 1000RR with a blown engine, looking for a newer (11/12) engine.

Would also appreciate any suggestions on where else to look for either an engine, or a repo or wrecked bike. Haven't had much luck so far.

Thanks,
Terry

ya I realize they are still new, but I'm looking for a demo'd bike that is being parted out. I'm willing to use a 2010 if needed, but the 08 and 09 were too many issues.

Not too sure how the engine blew, I always had oil burning on it, but kept the oil checked regularly. I was on a day trip, on a highway doing 130km, and the engine started running rough. Next thing I know, I felt a loss of power on the bike - and wasn't sure if I was imagining it - so gave it a little throttle. A second later the engine started locking up and all of the oil blew out onto my leg and rear tire. Turns out a rod blew out and left a hole in the stator cover.
