The R1 powered version is a bargain.. as low as £6000 complete
6.5 days and the wiring is done, just a few more parts to fit then the exhaust fabrication

Rear Arches are on, rear lights on the wings still need to fit num plate light, reverse and fog lights..
Gear Linkage finished, engine wiring finished, some plumbing started...
Front prop arrives monday, rear torque resiliant tube prop in, and VERY tight fit, only 2-3 mm clearance at present so we may have to mod the tunnel very slightly just to give more clearance...

geared for around 130 mph and 0-60 around 3 seconds.. road legal slicks (TOYO 888'S) Should make it fun to drive on the road...
You gotta hear this thing when it revs, sounds simply awesome...
Biggest problem is gonna be SVA test (single vehicle authorisation) as they make you go through a full emissions test (and noise test) when you never have to do it again...
Getting an injection motorcycle engine down to 200 ppm hydrocarbons, 0.3% co and within lambda limits is bloody hard...
Note the quaiffe reverse box, and the torque resiliant prop (cush drive)
Theoretically this has 6 forward and 6 reverse sequential gears...
4000 mile zx12r motor and all dry sump gear has come to around £3600![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/shocked.gif)

Pays to be nice to the tester on previous SVA's as he let my steering thru with minimal self centering...
No point acting like a brat and giving them grief when they think they are giving you safety advice.. they just think "what a tossah"..
Thanks for the nice comments guys... shoulda been a cossie, but still got a decent car

Cycle wings will be fitted as soon as the brackets get here from powder coaters... they are already drilled and fitted, just a quick bolt on job...
