Any locals want to trade for a '97 motorcycle project?

I have a a 1997 Kawi ZX-11 motorcycle project that I would like to trade with a "local". The body of the bike is sitting out in my back yard, and the fairings and engine are in my garage. As Fall approaches, I'd like to see if I could move this along to someone who would appreciate it, as I unfortunately am not in a position right now to allocate funds or time to bring her back to life.

I have a legit title for it. The engine needs reassembly and as far as I know she'd be ready to rock. Looking to see if anyone local to me is interested in swapping something for it? Let me know what you might want to offer up. Yes this is a gaming site but I'm not limited to game-related stuff. I could use help getting my Lincoln Welder fixed, I collect a ton of 80s stuff (probably too much), and even game parts and/or help bringing my Evel Knievel pin, Tempest, or Omega Race back to life would be considered.

Here's how she would look back together:

How much "apart" is the motor? Sounds like a workable trade but I"m not an expert on motorcycles. (Not that ever stopped me before). I do ride but my bike is a cruiser thats not very highway friendly.

It's completely apart because it needed a replacement crank. I have the replacement crank but don't have the time with 2 kids to be able to learn how to reassemble it. I thought I would be able figure it out because I know how to rebuild car engines, but I'm not seeing the parallels with this thing :( I have a manual that shows how to put it back together as well.

I can sneak out every now and again to work on a game, but a full engine rebuild is beyond my time allocation currently! :(
