Hi guys,
I'm new here and looking at building a bike engined car. Blade's and R1's seem to be the popular donors but what about the others (fazers, GSXRs, Bandit, etc). Is it worth the extra cash for the slight (top end) power increase of an R1 over a Fazer/GSXR1000 over a Bandit?

Thanks,
TK

i think malc had a cheap fazer motor for sale

What about a Thunderace 1000cc engine. V cheap to buy the whole bike, completely bullet proof, less peaky that its R1 successor. All round good option

All these engine are options, but investigate properly from people who have used them if they suffer from oil surge issue when mounted differently in a 7 car (unless its a middy project? - still i;d check)

Also the more off the beaten track you go with the engine choice the higher the chances of having to pay to have a custom exhaust manufactered as the off the shelf ones are only for comen engines - a custom exhaust could easily wipe out any savings - add in a dry sump kit due to not doing your home work and you'd be better off with a busa for the money it would cost!

Thanks dangle.

Wise words! I hadn't thought about the custom exhaust, etc.
