Not yet, the idea still very much in the planning stage. When I go home to France, I need to clear room in the garage (and see it there's room to work there too), as well as trying to find a way to ship the bike home. Also, I have no idea where to start looking.

I doubt I could find a CG inspiring enough. If I don't like it, I won't be able to dedicate myself to it enough. Likewise, I've never been one for letting inexperience rule me. True, a 125 is easier to work on, true it's less work, but a 600 (say) would be more challenging, more complex and overall more satisfying!!
