The budget you are looking at for mine is about 3000 pound and can go up to 9000 pound for a new one. But that is just the kart. You deff need some equipment around it and deff knowledge! If you start driving a thing like this without experience it is gonna cost money! Engines are pretty fragile!

You can buy one for 1000 pound, but to keep a kz running also involves quite some cash. Like rebuild every 8 hours (new piston and small end bearing)

I'm happy that my dads company (www.bmvescharen.nl) is my personal sponsor else it would be impossible for me!

The thing that amazed me the most is the grip these things have. Started with old used tyres in the meanwhile i buy my own new sets. Pretty soft tyres compared to old used harder compound i take 4-5 seconds of a lap!

Really great sport to do!

@phil_focus you're welcome haha
