Engine Choice (Advice)

To anyone who has never driven a kit car or other 'extreme' car - A blade is enough!

When I was deciding what to buy there were a number or people who said that Fireblades were no good round town, or that there was insufficient torque etc etc.

I have just driven my MK Indy with a (possibly restricted to 99bhp) '92/93 blade engine in. It was manic! pulled like a train at low revs and took off like a rocket given a heavy right foot (which I have).

I have NEVER felt anything like it - Bike, car or supercar - take care with those 'busas R1s and Blackbirds, when an 898cc blade pulls and responds like that I'll not be upgrading for a while
