I picked up a Yamaha R6 for a song. It was wrecked, but mostly cosmetic. I'm either going to get it working again as a naked bike for starters, or use the power train for something completely different.
If you were going to have fun with a tidy and compact 100hp powerplant with a sequential transmission, what would you do? Already evaluating the bike option. But what else... Kart? What other car options would you consider? Just for fun, not trying to fit into a racing class or be street legal. Someone suggested a Legends car, but I'm thinking something lighter and lower. If you wanted something bigger than a shifter kart but yet as low and light as possible, what ideas would you throw out? Let's have fun with this. |

Hi Rand! How is Reno?
You know, there is a place right down the road from you that absolutely would be a blast. You should build a salt racer out of that package. Maybe a low slung trike? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

A low slung trike could be crazy fun... have you see the drifter trikes? Bam, maybe that's it! |
