A fast motorbike engine

[simonr85]

Am building a Go Kart and looking for a nice fast engine (that runs already), ideally 1 of the following:

gsxr400
zx4r
cbr400


gsxr600
zx6r
cbr600
yzf r6

etc

may even use 1000cc if the engine price is right


any1 got anything?

Cant help with the engine itself, but I'd suggest a gsxr600 if yiou can get it, they are fairly cheap, easy to work on, go like shit of a stick standard and respond well to tuning

not that your gonna want to tune it much to run a go-kart!!

has been flipped so got it for £600


its go kart time!!!!

right as requested got a quick 3gp video (mobile phone format) of my YZF R6 go kart

Right Click and Save Target As

The video is poor quality as my phone is crap but you can hear how it sounds bearing in mind the most i revved it on that vid was to 4k, and the clocks go all the way to 18k

Will get proper quality videos up soon
