Just thinking about the next car and looking at what engine to go for. I nearly went for a bike engine last time but changed my mind at the last minute. Don't regret it my current car is great but would still like to build a BEC.
Assuming Hayabusa and ZX12 are out of my budget what engine would you reccomend? Current favourite is R1.

Thanks.

Defo an R1

If you can stretch to a ZX12 its a good choice but the R1 wont dissapoint.

My FZR1000 engine would do the trick

Well, just watched an R1 go for £685 on ebay. Put a couple of bids in but didn't want to go mad, don't need it yet. Seems like a good price though.

Ben

you missed a baragian provied it was ok and a runner, electrics ect......

If you can't get a Busa then the R1 is probably one of the best alternatives, although you do know that these new fangled bike engines don't have any torque and you can't get them to pull away properly

Sounds just like the taxi I drive every day!!

Ben.

Ultimate BEC engine = busa
Best bang for buck = R1

IMHO
