if $1500 is too expensive, what chance do you have of getting a hayabusa!

why dont you just use a car engine!

too big

mcdowall, Jan 23, 1:28am
i knew it was a bit of a long shot

jezz43, Jan 23, 1:30am
is it a home made dune buggy!

Must be a Motorcycle wreckers in Dunedin! Why do you need 1000cc! Most two seater off roaders are only 250.

thats what i was thinking, i built one years back with a 400 in it, was too bloody fast and it ended up being rolled and written off

I built a large one when I was 14. It ran on 10" atv wheels and was too long to fit on a tandem trailer. It was powered by a TT500 engine for about a week. after a few uncontrollable moments I fitted a DR250 and it became alot more user friendly

Its a home built here is the site showing the plans ect http://www.edge.au.com/Categories/The_Barracuda
a 600cc or 800cc would be fine

So spend the 7 - 10 K quoted on the website to build the rolling chassis yourself and then worry about finding an engine. Or buy an already built one.

mcdowall, Jan 23, 1:53am
can you put the link for that one pls

h.e, Jan 23, 1:54am
cbr 400! maybe 700! some of the wiring loom missing,oil cooled.had it winding over 8 months ago.take it away

mcdowall, Jan 23, 1:55am

daryl14, Jan 23, 1:57am
