So....hey everyone..!
So..the Honda Cbr600rr.....a 600cc sports bike engine....can it be used one road karts? If yeh, aren't they extremelly fast with an engine like that?

[robertdjung]

Yes, and yes. Welcome to the site!

Aaha...so what speeds are they capable of? And is it very hard to install one on a kart?
many thanks

How complex is it to install an engine like this on a kart?

[robertdjung]

The easy answer is that it just matters -- for some, building a hot rod is easy, and for others building a birdhouse might be impossible. It's all about ingenuity. There's another post talking about this engine on the board right now, too.

At Gateway International in St.Louis a few years ago the 250cc shifter karts where reaching speeds over 125 mph! They would probably go faster but the fear of take off probably was a consideration! Get a Micro midget frame for the engine. If you dont know what that is go to ebay and look under racecars for sale.

yeh i watched both of them....yeh..both karts are extremelly fast....but i though about it...and i think i'm gonna go with a bit smaller engine....i still want it to be really fast.....but not totally out of control....Any recommendations on which engine i should use? Any fast dirt bike engine...or about 400cc sport bike engines?
