I drove some basketball player's T-Rex (don't remember who it was, but supposedly he's some star :dunno: ). It was at 404 Motorsports and I was there with a friend who happens to hang out with a couple of the guys who work there. HOLLY FUCKING SHIT that thing is fun.
If you go with a GSXR motor, avoid 00 and 01 600 and 750. Weak trannies. You can add a power commander to nearly most modern FI sport bikes, and get pretty decent control over tune. |

However I've wondered... What would happen if a person transplanted an FZ1 engine into one of the new Grinnall S3-K40 chassis? You'd have to build a custom swingarm and sprocket extension, but having done that one could conceivably fit a 335/30-18 tire back there. Then, we just have to find a way to make it legal in SoloII A-modified. The only killer rule is on page 59 of the GCR, section 12.1: 12.1 AUTOMOBILE (CAR) A crafty person might try to attach a fourth wheel to the vehicle, at the end of a retractable lever, which is lowered to the ground when at rest. A craftier person might point out to the tech inspector that none of the other cars at the event are in compliance with 12.1 either, since if their wheels are in contact with the ground then they must be in violation of 3.3.3 B-4, Safety:A self-propelled land vehicle, running on at least four wheels, not in a line, which must be in contact with the ground when at rest. 4. Tires must be in good condition, with no cord or belts showing or cracks in the tread or sidewall. I mean, the ultimate would obviously be a Megabusa Westie, but this being California and all you can't register a car with a motorcycle engine. If you go with a GSXR motor, avoid 00 and 01 600 and 750. Weak trannies. You can add a power commander to nearly most modern FI sport bikes, and get pretty decent control over tune. But beware the ZX-14. Anger, Fear, naturally-aspirated Torque, the Dark Side are they. Once you start down the 1400cc path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Loki, do not underestimate the power of the boost. Or suffer your father's fate you will. |
Joe, you are strange....lol

I'm looking for a place that has small displacement motors (ie motorcycle engines) for sale. New motors are ok, ideally with integral transmission.
This is for my open wheeled racer, lets see those links. Carburated 120 HP & 70 ft/lbs torque Mark |

LOL, I need a liter bike, my fat ass is too heavy for a 650. Although if it were a newer SV650, I would be tempted in someways. I want a fuel injected bike.

just recalled, a friend of mine has an older Honda liter bike that he bought needing work (it was dropped fairly hard) but it starts and runs fine. The frame is ok, but it's got lots of busted panels and shit. anyway, he's moving to Texas and is selling most of his project stuff... I'll get some info from him.

awesome thank you

Ah yes. It took a few minutes to register that the VF1000 family hasn't been made in a while. All I saw was the 1000. :cool:
