I'd love to do this!

Ive been looking into building one and you could put together one for about $1000. Nothing race worthy, but it would be a ridgid, and it would be pretty f'n quick.

 

I found that you can pull a 200cc motor off ebay for about $400 and bolt it up to (with a little moddification) one of these....

With the proper gearing, you could it up to about 100mph. Safty would be a bit of an issue, but shit... i dont think it would be too bad as long as you didnt try to hit any rediculous turns.

 

Heres my comparisons....

 

2002 Kawasaki Ninja 250R

28bhp/18lb-ft

355lbs

 

home built shifter kart w/ 200cc engine off ebay

16.25bhp/11lb-ft

160lbs

 

less than half the weight with more than half the power. I think it would be a f'n blast to drive around :D
