I've been thinking about a bigger project that involves lots of welding and fabbing for a while now, and recently I decided on a mini buggy. After checking out some forums, I decided to start with the local product, so I ordered the plans and a frame kit for one of these as a Christmas present for myself-

They look ok stock, but I've found some that have been nicely modded (more round tube and nerf bars etc)

The Edge recommend 500-750cc moteurs (although they list 1000s and 1100s in the suitable moteur list).
I reckon the CBR600RRRR in my kart would be perfect...but I reckon a ZX12R moteur would be even perfecter although it will require a beefy rear end with CVs etc. I guess it all depends what I come home from the auctions with.
Of course, just after ordering the kit, I found this little beauty, only spoiled by the likely shipping costs-

I have 2 years to finish it or I lose a $100 bet with Ben.
P.S- before anyone starts
1 I'm waiting for another GSX 1400 donor bike to supply an engine for my write off.
2 If I get a 12R, I can use the forks etc to register my ZX12 dragbike one day
3 The RTA have fucked up the whole engineering certification scheme in NSW, so I can't get anyone to look at the ZX10 until the engineers know what's going on. Worst case scenario, it gets taken to Brisbane and registered there.
I'm hoping mine looks something like this-
