After co-driving my friend's SCCA CSR road race car that is powered by a Hayabusa motorcycle engine, I've been intrigued by the idea of a light weight motorcycle powered street car. I would prefer a two-seater, but this appeals to me.

There seem to be a bunch of kit cars around using mc motors. I just looked at a T Rex. The Pikes Peak Winning 2014 Palatov D2RS mentioned in another thread with the v8 is also offered with an mc drivetrain.

40 years ago I almost killed myself on my wife's brothers go cart. He put a 450cc Honda motorcycle engine and tranny on it.

I like it! The clear plastic dash above the steering wheel is a neat idea.

I'm too old to get in or, more importantly, out of this contraption. Yes, it's fascinating though. Never gonna happen...
