New to forum, CR500 vs CB650 Motor Swap on gocart

[S1000rrsteve]

Looking for others input on which motor I should use. I have both motors. Granted both run good. Which motor would you use and why.

This is going on a bigger two seater gocart that will need some fabrication to fit the motor

CR because it's faster and lighter. I've had several CB Hondas, all the way for a 350 to a 750 and about everything in between. Won't hold a candle to the CR for power to weight ratio. I loved riding CR500's when I was into motocross. Bad to the bone bikes.

CR 500 for sure

YUP!! CR motor!!

While you're at it though, I'd upgrade the brakes on that thing, you're gonna need GREAT brakes, that motor is gonna haul WAY more *** than that kart was designed for
