That is EXCELLENT!
I was playing with a similar idea myself..
actually a few years back (17 is a few right?) I was driving 220km to go and buy a KR200 in pieces...
but what I thought was "disassembled ready to repair", was "disintegrated ready to hoover up" and we couldn't agree on a price.
(basically 2 grand for some paperwork and a matching serial number plate, plus a few boxes o rust)
Ah well, lesson learned: pics first... ALWAYS!
Now that little fellow is very small as you might know, and pretty much all except the body is really straight forward; exactly what you'd expect it to be.
very simple design, a scooter swingarm, barely a frame (just two tubes holding the body on the floorpan really)
And what is perfectly described as a go kart steering on suspended wheels.
The lid is connected by a piano hinge and that's all the mechanics involved already.
Please let us know your location...
IIRC there was a replica made by a british guy (awesome dude!) and he sold kits
and complete replikas based on 4stroke honda scooter engines and fiberglass bodies for the KR175/200 the Tiger as well as the Isetta...
Always wanted one afterwards, never got around buying one (since it's not streetlegal here anyways)
IDK if he's still around, neither can I remember the companies name (but I can meditate over it I guess
)[EDIT]
TriTech or something...
[E.o.E.]
but if you're in the US that's pointless, since shipping will break your neck (hence the location question)

my budgets a few grand but its not going to be an exact replica of a kr200. its actually called a fusion flea from the game fallout. the reason why i said kr200 is because its based off of it. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fusion_Flea_Supreme
i can weld and i have pretty much nothing to start with accept some drawings and a idea of the frame.
