that thing hauls ass!

2005 Yamaha R1 Sport Bike engine in a Beisse Shifter Kart. Around 180 HP, weighs about 220lbs. Previous owner had Kart up to 181 mph before a tire blew out. Using GoPro Hero High Def camera with adhesive mount.
NOTE: The rear tires are worn out so the driver didn't do anything to crazy. The ending was edited out to protect the driver, what you missed was the kart driving into a garage door that was purposely left open 3-4 feet, the driver gets out and rushes to close the door.

Nice driving: speeding in residential neighborhoods; driving on the wrong side of the street; passing across double yellow lines; rolling through stop signs. That SUV almost backed into him around 7:30.

I agree.... the laws are for people with license plates only!

I can't even imagine getting out on a public road on something like that!

probably rolling through stop signs because he doesnt have a clutch pedal... bike clutch operation, I'm assuming? that guy is insane though ... all a car needs to do is stop suddenly in front of him and its bye bye head X_x
